Cliffs version... Certified teachers get $50,000 bonus and everyone else gets $17,000 bonus from Meta taxes. The data center isn't even completed.

Chicken Littles are going to Chicken Little whether it's data centers or anything else.

A now deceased friend was the contract operator of the Starks oilfield over 2 decades ago. He had to break up knife fights between employees at work every now and then. The Luddites have the same mentality

They’ve become a popular villain. The real issue for myself involves the local governments.. if you have a competent one then these are a big win for many areas.. the problem is that most people don’t have a strong, smart and ethical local government to do the bidding.

You are spiking the football over a temporary increase in sales tax revenue.
What about property taxes? What about sales tax in 5 year after the construction is complete and all the temporary workers leave?
You are very short sighted in your celebrations here.

And…the technology advances and Silicon Valley pulls out like they are notorious for.
I’m all for staying ahead of China, but sometimes winning the lottery ruins lives.

There won't be any in New Orleans.

Those are a joke even in NOLA compared to other states except a few counties in Mississippi. I'm definitely not complaining about low property taxes in Louisiana.

Meta has paid over $20 million in taxes. It's not local businesses

So turn that farmland into solar farms instead? It's not like farming is that profitable any longer. The US is no longer the king of grain exports since all those countries USAID used give grain to are growing their own.

AOC "logic" like when she got Amazon to not come to Queens.

AI, since you can’t do this weld, can you tell me which country commissioners took money under the table from Zuck?

We are the kings of maize production and it isn’t even close. I think we grow more than 30% of the world’s production.

Corpus version,,,, Local politicians trade off long term resources for short term trinkets that last till the next election. ie. Portland Independent school district got an enormously expensive school complex funded in part by the Latest Ethylene Complex built in the district. The new Ethylene complex was guaranteed 15% of the Corpus Water supply at rates far below that of the residential customer. Result? Water shortage with residential customers curtailed by 25%, Industrials not curtailed.

Without sales to ethanol plants that would be sucking wind. I have personal friends of over 40 years who are executives in international grain trading.
NE LA was all cotton until ethanol got really cranked up. Many of those switched to corn because there wasn't enough corn coming down the river to supply the export elevators between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Even that has decreased to the point that international grain traders are not that profitable the last year or so. Unless the potential prospect of a grain failure in Russia occurs the world has too much grain globally.
The Full Scale invasion of Ukraine only took some of the surplus off of the world stage.

And this is a bonus based on these temporary sales taxes. It's not a permanent salary increase.
