What is Louisiana getting for those $3.3 billion in tax breaks?
2 cable monkey jobs
A data center that will employ like 100 people and destroy their local air quality (probably), blast tons of light at night (definitely) and otherwise destroy the local ecology.
Don't forget all the water and electricity that will be taken away from the people.
Or the audible sound that'll make every house and bit of land around it an absolutely miserable place to live, because you'll feel it in your bones at all time :)
A couple of Louisiana's citizens (i.e. the politicians who agreed to this) will get a lot richer.
Their politicians are drastically increasing their personal wealth and think they're ensuring decades of campaign contributions...
Because they're too stupid to realize the tech ros will replace them for even greedier people who ask even less questions.
I bet those politicians are getting some sweet ~~bribes~~ gratuitues
