The Meta center is actually in the perfect spot in Sturgeon County. Yet the hysteria surrounding it, largely pushed by NDP bots on Facebook, is crazy. Now people from all over the province are planning protests against it, while Sturgeon County residents are welcoming this addition to our tax base.

When I started looking into them, there were numerous articles about how horrible they are, while I couldn’t find anything positive. That told me all I needed to know. A narrative is being pushed to block data centers in North America and who benefits? China probably.

When a narrative spreads fear, the opposite is usually true. Welcome Meta!

Well done and yes, it follows the lines of what I am thinking about. Looking forward to the rest of the analysis!

Great start on the deep dive Yakk. My concern is the sheer volume of data centres popping up everywhere, many that are already under construction that we'd never have known about without doing Google searches. Since we conspiracy theorists are up over 50 and 0 now, I'm finding my spidey senses tingling once again

“WE DONT KNOW WHAT THE DATA CENTERS ARE FOR! “ Because they certainly are not for AI.
