I'm including all the other job growth occurring around it. The datacenter will be huge so it'll be significantly more than 10, I assure you.

---

Ok….. so are we talking direct or indirect jobs? Clearly there will be more than 10 jobs created temporarily from the construction of the data center.

quote:

---

How about this math: No data center + zero surrounding job growth because of it = 0. But you're cool with 0, I guess.

---

Again, are we talking direct or indirect? Yea, I’m super cool with zero jobs for LA who has had abysmal economic growth for decades.

Meta would not have come here without in depth talks with Entergy supporting the facility, so you have to include those job numbers as well.

---

No shite…. We got Mr. MBA over here. Entergy (who will figure out some way to saddle the customer with all this cost, that’s a whole another discussion) wouldn’t have agreed to it if the Governor wouldn’t have passed an EO “Project Lightning Speed” allowing them to blow pass permitting and
regulations to built the shite. I see you left out Hyundai and Cf. So how many direct jobs are you guessing or pulling out of your arse that the data center will provide?

ow is this any different than the 17 acre lot that Home Depot is going to build out *at the back fence* of some of my old neighbors? Or the 165 acre shitbox that is Texas Heritage Marketplace (with no infrastructure upgrades prior to opening) with the ultra exciting venues of Target, Sam's Club, etc. going up a stone's throw from multiple neighborhoods?

---

I wouldn’t want a target or a HD in my backyard either. You are correct there is no difference either way I look at it. If I moved out to the country to get away from all the bullshite and big tech wanted to put a humming, light polluting, water/power consuming behemoth in my backyard the size of several or more super wal-marts …..I sure as hell wouldn’t want that shite. What is so hard to understand about that?

Maybe when looking at that W2, your wife should ask why Livingston parish has been able to allocate about 25million dollars to building new sports facilities in the last few years? Why every school has at least 4 assistant principals, all making 6 figures a year, while rank and file teachers are making half that? Why the LPPS central office needs 200 employees with most of the higher ranks all related to the same 3 or 4 last names and all making over 6 figures?

---

Yea, I know it’s crazy. Why did CLK need the contract he got with all the assistants and all the NIL money? We could put that towards education right? It’s as if this is on a larger scale, as in the whole state and not just LP.

The uneducated complaining about eduction. Louisiana gonna Louisiana.

39 Trillion and counting

Republic nor Democrat spend our money responsibly.

Yea I heard that lol……

1) he has done a really good job on economic development, do some damn research

---

Data centers. Quick hit of cash with minimal direct jobs. Demands on the grid and water consumption. Power companies swear no bills will be increased for the public. Some states have already started putting bans on them or moratoriums. Might be a good idea before you make a deal with the devil the governor should do his research or our governor is too retarded to realize he is making a deal with the devil. Just fricking yahoo it and go all in, get that quick hit of cash, give meta, Google or whoever all the tax incentives at the expensive of the state/tax payer so you have the headline. Meta/Google aren’t looking for partnerships, they are looking for the best deal possible and whoever they can take advantage of. I wonder who they thought they could take advantage of?

2) yea insurance rates are high...do you think the governor has unlimited power and just waves his magic wand to make it go down suddenly?

---

No he’s not a ruler, but he is a trial lawyer. Hey you know who runs the legislature? Lawyers and Insurnace agents. They have the magic wand and they ain’t waving shite to solve this problem. You know that our last governor was a lawyer? You know who has written all the legislation on tort refom? The same lawyers who do all the litigating in our courts and make bank. Ask any trial lawyer and they will laugh at the tort reform and tell you it’s a paper tiger.

quote:

---

3) yea infrastructure sucks....are you under the impression that is started sucking suddenly under him and he isnt doing anything to help?

---

It will continue with him. He’s to busy getting those social justice wins and owning the libs.

quote:

---

but hell the dumbasses of the OT have made up their minds already with zero research. I forget you are the smartest man on this board.

---

I forget you are the smartest man on TD. All anyone has to do is ask you and you will let them know.

quote:

---

now frick you for making me taking up for jeff fricking landry. thats how bad your argument is.

---

You go frick yourself bro. You are one of the biggest dipshits on TD with an ego to go with it. I’d expect nothing less from a plant Baw engineer.

quote:

---

but since you are so smart, please please point out the exact policies he asked for that have been passed that make the state worse. please im very interested

---

Never said anything about being smart, you are smart enough for all of us. I’d say I’m in the know though and can read between the lines. I didn’t say anything about policies that make the state worse either. His programs and executive orders do not move the state forward.

Some on here argued in a similar thread that owning a “child like sex doll” is not pedophilia a week or so ago. They stated it was a slippery slope to ban such things. I guess live and let live right?

And he is indeed old enough to understand his parent's history.

---

Which is it? His dad has so much money he doesnt have to bother with his family issues or he has a great relationship with his dad? I think Tiger is a piece of shite human and gets a ton of grace/chances for his accolades on the course. Im not sure how your take away from my comment was I’m a Tiger fan boy? I was stating your points were dumb about money curing all ills. This retort is equally dumb.

quote:

---

It ain’t what you know, it’s who you know. Relationships matter, and not the ones with a smartphone, but a human.

---

This is lost on so many people. Some think it’s AI and will continue to grind that ax. Maybe a little of it is but it comes off as chicken little-ish to me with AI as the bogeyman. This generation has built relationships online and in most cases are void of interpersonal/social skills. If you can communicate effectively face to face and have a personality you can build connections/relationships that can lead to work. This generation, probably to some degree and not entirely their fault, just dont have these skills. Every job that I have got has been through a relationship old or new. I have never got a job by simply blasting out resumes and I have blasted resumes before.

quote:

---

The counter argument is not about pedophilia … it’s about whether owning a sex doll is beneficial to prevent sex crime (or whether it promotes it) Im not advocating handing out dolls like needles. It I guess the analogy is whether owning a syringe by itself should be illegal

---

The argument is about child like sex dolls; which in turn is pedophilia. Again, syringes are universally accepted for good. Sex dolls or child-like sex dolls, not so much.
