That must be when we are all loaded into pods like in the Matrix.
Anyone else feel really weird after watching those new creepy Meta commercials? Where they show various small towns in America, then try to sell the communities are happy that Meta Data Centers have been built and saved their towns and made everyone happy? The feel like some commercial being aired in a futuristic dystopian Sci-Fi movie. Seems surreal.
The commercials may be weird and creepy. Those probably are a good source of jobs for rural towns.
The exception to that is rural towns tend to be more conservative, Christian, and Republican, and these data centers would be outposts of Meta's radical woke, anti-Christian transhumanist culture, complete with all the worst extremes of "diversity".

Well my thoughts were that the people to work data centers in rural small towns will be a small handful of tech savvy engineers & IT gurus making $200k+, not the thousands of locals previously working at the meat packing slaughterhouse or stocking shelves at the Super Walmart. I just feel it’s a scam “feel good” commercial not based in reality at all. I think most Americas can tell the selling points of the commercial don’t pass the sniff test.

I read a book published in the early 2000s called The American Jobs Scam and it mentioned how, time after time, the corporations who set up shop wherever they do are given tax breaks and leasing options and all sorts of things so the town can woo them into coming to them instead of a town three states over. Then as soon as the all the cushy options expire the corporations close down shop and leave so they can do the same thing again somewhere else. Meanwhile their presence has eaten up a lot of money and used up a lot of utilities that they won't ever end up paying for. I wouldn't doubt these data centers are all subsidized and taxpayer funded, through and through. In a real free market there'd be no demand for these big data centers.
Jobs may be good, but the strain on local resources (energy, water) won't be.
My calendar doesn't show any holidays starting in 2027.
Is it a Google calendar?
