The best part about data centers is that for the most part, they're going to overpopulate in the Red states, and make those places miserable, while the Blue states become too hostile to build, heavily regulate them, or ban them outright.

Let them suck the life out of states that deserve it.

You know that a bunch of people who didn’t want to be were sent to those states and are stuck there right?

Who? Why?

Could you elaborate for the less informed?

I don't think those people are going to be complaining about datacenters, given that they're all long dead.
