Not that I think that those datacenters should have those tax breaks, but the language seems quite misleading if not an outright lie, presumably without those the datacenters would have been built elsewhere.
presumably without the tax breaks someone else could have bought those products, used the land/resources while paying for their fair share. Billions that should have gone to support tax payers aren't there now so I think "taxpayers helping some of the richest corporations on the planet buy servers, equipment, and power infrastructure" seems fair.
regarding tax payers, the biggest sins of new data centers seem to be: * driving power bills parabolic due to no mandated investment in power generation or delivery grid * consuming water from the city system far beyond normal usage; water bills go up for normal people * pollution; xAI in memphis illegally uses gas turbines with no pollution controls; air is very dirty around their data center; data centers apparently are noisy in places
legislation is needed to force costs currently being borne by normal people back on to the data centers reaping all of the profit.
Don't let them steal resources and take from society without giving anything back
100% tax now
