Fewer data centers build-outs -> fewer people employed in your area/state-> slower economic growth -> more complaints about unemployment.
I'd like to say that those hating on data centers have good reason to do so, but I'm almost certain they have no idea why.
At the end of the day, the data centers will be built whether they like it or not. It's just going to benefit others.
Lastly, let's shut down the TikTok servers and see who gets pissed off :)
GOLDMAN SACHS: DEMOCRATIC WINS COULD THREATEN 45% OF US DATA CENTER EXPANSION
Goldman Sachs warns that Democratic victories at state and local levels could trigger temporary data-center construction moratoria.
🔸 45% of planned US data-center capacity could be affected.
🔸 Texas alone accounts for roughly 25% of planned capacity.
🔸 Texas, Georgia and Michigan could introduce restrictions on tax breaks, electricity, water and environmental permits.
However, Goldman expects any moratoria to be short-lived, with political pressure easing over time.
