Data centers pay ~57% of property taxes in Quincy, Washington. They funded a $15 million aquatic center—with a pool, waterslides & lazy river—and a 143,000-square-foot sports complex. They’ve created almost 1,000 jobs. The city admin called it a “miracle.”

So if Exxon would have built a new refinery there and used a huge amount of water, provided 1000 new jobs, liberals would have rejoiced?
Exxon isn’t building squat in Louisiana lol

Meta has really sent their hired trolls to Tigerdroppings to espouse the supposed virtues of data centers. And of course they always accuse anybody who opposes them of being a Chinese troll.
It’s mostly chinese trolls, but there are a few dipshits mixed in.

Nobody should be celebrating the loss of land at this scale.
The amount of US land going to data centers rounds to zero.

I love this new talking point that no one has ever backed up with any evidence.
Evidence from chatgpt
quote:
The most important evidence appeared in June 2026, when OpenAI published a threat-intelligence report describing what it called the “Data Center Bandwagon” campaign. OpenAI identified a cluster of accounts likely originating in China that used ChatGPT to produce social-media comments and images intended for American audiences. The content argued that AI data centers were increasing electricity prices and imposing costs on ordinary families. The operators concealed their origins and attempted to insert themselves into an existing American political debate. OpenAI’s investigators concluded that the accounts appeared to be part of a covert influence operation, rather than simply Chinese citizens expressing opinions. Reporting on the investigation says the accounts were probably operated by a private Chinese technology company working for provincial-level government clients. They posed as Americans and generated material about electricity prices and data-center energy consumption. That is fairly significant evidence because it establishes three things: 1. The activity originated in China. 2. The operators concealed their identity and presented themselves as Americans. 3. They deliberately selected an issue—American data-center construction—that has strategic implications for the U.S.-China AI competition.

Because this is what one would say.

Data centers are the new boogeyman
There is fair criticism to go around. I question how long this data lasts as it doesn't take many people to run these data centers

Yea but the humming sounds!

People opposing data centers now are like the people who were anti fracking when it first started being used.

I don’t think you are directly working for china, but you are doing exactly what they want when you espouse anti-data center views.
They want an America where people hate data centers
You are taking the bait hook line and sinker
