NorthPoint is offering the township $120 million to support the community’s police department and other services over the next 15 years.
$10,000 check for the local home owners and land lords lol. Good luck selling your house by then.
People at REAL dada centers want to eat a clock, recite the alphabet then become fish.
Corporations shouldn’t be permitted to donate money to the community services of their choice. They should be substantially taxed and elected officials should fulfill the expectations of residents. We all know they’ll buy the politicians too so it’s just a pipe dream.
Wow. That’s a helluva typo
Rack mounted ready-mades.
Dada Center companies want to own your local police as well.
Surreal centers too.
And don’t forget the Mama centers!
Dada Center, LOL.
Anyway, on the one hand, fuck 'em. On the other, extracting community value from any industry is the only way it can possibly work, and data centers don’t provide long-term employment in any reasonable number, so it needs to be taxes and other more direct aid.
The local residents and their governments “just” (that word’s doing a lot of heavy lifting, I know) need to hold them over a barrel until they get enough to truly make it worthwhile. Making the tech industry pay their fair share would also suppress the number of datacenters down to what actually matches the realistic demand estimates. What we’re seeing right now is undercapitalized bullshit trying to externalize the costs and retain the profits.
Easy to say, hard to do so, so I guess what it comes down to is this: fuck 'em.
Ceci n’est pas une data centre.
Too bad for them. I’m Mr. Nimbus and I control the police.
Not even offering bananas or champagne?
