> Meta built a new data center nearby and this person along with many others got jobs there and now things are great.
Creating such bustling workplaces as https://maps.app.goo.gl/fc9AGtsVwiLA1vd88 https://maps.app.goo.gl/fHvTWK4rWqrsqsmr9 https://maps.app.goo.gl/RzggPfd3xbBQbdoo6 and https://maps.app.goo.gl/MBjun6ad4zJmmrRV7
These facilities will sometimes employ as many as 100 people - so a state that can attract three such data centres creates almost as many new jobs as an entire wal-mart store. Truly, a transformative number of jobs.
Yep. Massena, NY totally got hundreds of jobs out of the shitty Bitcoin miners that came to town like Coinmint and whoever the hell "North Country Colocation Services" is. We were saved! Everybody is rich and healthy and happy!
... wait, no, we're not. We're still an absolute shithole at the top of New York, now with a bunch of sea cans sitting in front of abandoned industry we lost decades prior, humming away doing nothing for any of us.
Most will be specialist jobs too, with people moving there to fill them and/or working on a rotating basis, requiring traveling. Truly magnificent for the community, and the environment--employees can bring bottled water with them from out of state to solve that issue!
