Louisiana has been doing this for decades. It’s the same old story of large corporations getting massive tax breaks while little guys gets screwed over.
All that destruction to provide a couple of hundred jobs. These dumbass politicians think Meta is bringing in a factory, like the old days.
because these welfare states offer next to no corporate taxes thats why they move there. even WF is based in texas, a chain for the “eco-conscious customers”
It seems that most times it ends up not being worth it.
Data centers have become a major economic development battleground for many states, even though they provide relatively few jobs and consume massive amounts of resources.
Business welfare state!
Honestly kind of surprised they’d put a data center there. Isn’t Louisiana known for swamps and hurricanes?
musk put grok in bum fuck middle oTENNESEE polluting the area.
Right? Wouldn’t the insurance costs outweigh how cheap the land is?
North eastern Louisiana is no more likely to see a hurricane than southern Arkansas or mid-Mississippi
It better be with all the education and Medicaid cuts.
