Yes you will suffer at times and all so billionaires can make a few extra billion off of data centers.

Washingtonians voted for this and your elected representatives had a choice to send the bill of data centers back to the tech companies but thought it wasn't a priority.

Your bottom dollar is not their priority.

Someone didn't read the article and thinks that it's shitting on the practice, I see.

They once told me something about how ICE was able to come to blue states because of gun control (and deserved it because of the gun control laws).

Oh, and another time, they claimed that a tax for billionaires (like the one recently passed for WA) would be moved to the lower bracket once the billionaires all moved away, even though that didn't happen in NYC. Funny that they're complaining about billionaires in this thread, while saying we shouldn't tax them in another. Almost like they just like to disagree with anything democratic legislatures pass.
