    Wrong comment young bro. People may not have the assets to move. This could be their childhood neighborhood, and they can’t move and all of a sudden Meta bribed the local leadership to build a fucking huge data center and then the locals are F’ed

      “If youre renting, just move” is what I said.

      Aint not a fucking thing holding you a to place you dont own. You can move anywhere in the US, which, last time I checked, was fucking massive. Theres no excuse for not leaving a state that treats you like shit, or a local company thats moved in and is fucking everything up. Need I remind you all about Dupont posining the fucking world for 30+ years? And all the locals were getting cancers and other fucked up things, because they were dumping C8 into the water.

      You can all stay if you like, but moaning about something and expecting others to take action, is just dumb.

      “But, but, but I grew up here!”

      So fucking what? You wanna get sick there? You wanna die there? If you can move, you should move. Simple as that.

      While I don’t agree with that comments framing. It has a kernel of truth within it.

      Meta ain’t moving that’s just america 101. So there is only one other way for a peasant to fix this issue. And if you are too poor to fix it, nobody cares. Your government literally provided meta with tax incentives and maybe even helped them procure the land.

      Nobody gives a fuck if some loser plebs lose their way of life. A small price to pay for obtaining an income producing asset.
