In Virginia during the fifa World Cup there are a lot of pro data center ads funded by a group that was created for this purpose called Virginia Connects.
It’s the usual shitbags lying to the public to make it sound like data centers are good
Are they in cahoots with the PACs that support pro AI candidates? (Are they the same groups? I really don't know.)
In Virginia ads are still running about not leaving rural Virginians behind by banning data centers. Claiming that they will bring jobs to the rural community but those nasty politicians are banning the progress of data centers.
