We don't want datacenters here anyway. They offer almost no economic activity benefits after construction, only low skilled remote hands and security. And they're a huge load on the power grid and cooling water in the area.
But factories employed people. Datacenters hardly do. And whatever there is is low quality menial stuff. Moving boxes, bring told what to do by another low paid engineer in Bangalore.
And these datacenters aren't our means of production. They're generally owned by American companies and the proceeds disappear.
And yes outsourcing has been a huge negative for society too. It's the groups that have drawn the short straw from this that are now voting extreme right. That's what we get for not looking after the interests of our own workers.
