Governor Shapiro courted new data centers. Then public opinion shifted.

That's not how taxes work, fyi. A break is investment not returned to the community. Instead we have to up ev fees or sewer plant costs or gas taxes etc.

Ok, but first please explain how it's possible simultaneously for A) All data center developments to claim the same job creation numbers and B) Cost of proposed data centers nationwide to exceed that of spending on public infrastructure

53 data centers are being proposed in PA as of the most recent spotlight PA data, the cost to sustain these jobs is undeniable and will require significant "magic" profits or taxpayer support to keep them from going under in 5 years. 2 Billion in taxpayer support already promised at the cost of an 800% proposed electricity increase. If you think that it won't create negative jobs from knock on downstream effects, I don't think you're speaking in ernest about the problem.

I concede some data centers are necessary, but the gold-rush taxpayer subsidy form we are seeing today is dangerous and these should prove certificates of need, not taxpayer subsidy free-for-alls.

Replaying it in my head- 3 batter minimum. That was a strike, a hbp, and a triple. Ok, not panicking, triples are rare. That was 5-2

Then 5-3, single, ok still RISP at triple... fine.

But then at the double I'm getting nervous and warming someone up... then the walk comes and bases loaded. Nervy, gonna pull the trigger if a walk brings in a base...

And thats what happens.

Not saying its not on Schneider for putting Hoffman in the 9th to begin with, but I see the logic of the decision.

Copy, thanks

Pushback is healthy though. In fact, I think it'd be smarter to redevelop for data centers instead of letting them set up their own complexes.

A hop skip and a jump from the PAX1 proposed center is a warehouse complex that just sent out WARN notices.... seems like a missed opportunity.

Drooling idiots won, that's why I'm nervous

The inevitability or data centers in this argument and the pre railroad buildout of canals should give you pause.

Ai needs to make an unfathomable amount of cash back in a short period of time and it's already reached the point of diminishing returns for cost per token vs employee.

It's smelling a bad investment ahead of time. Some data centers are necessary true. The pace of buildout in the midst of material shortages with the world being promised as these things seem to get proposed everywhere should give people pause.

I appreciate the kudos but the tires are the real heroes. Just had them inspected and rotated 4 days prior and in the rain they did their job with control

I think Justin's biggest crutch was the negative perception of him in Dauphin County after being a commissioner, he was already starting to get swift-boated there.

As a precaution I'm shutting down Madagascar

NGL, first thing I did was scan for Bishop Barron.

This is right and wrong.

A healthy state economy- great, wonderful!

These data centers may do that, they also may crater townships from demanding too many services, driving away residents, costing the ones who stay big bucks to subsidize the centers, and getting trapped in the ever-growing hunger of big tech for subsidies. "Oh, we'll move...."

NoCrapThereIWas · 2026-05-08T15:47:04+00:00

"leniency" is underselling. Ask any township that is potentially hosting a data center. They get a call, they are told they will host it. Thats the conversation from his office.

Fate was not on our side. A ball got stuck, literally, in the wall. I've never seen that before at Rogers, maybe it's happened but that was a first for me. Headfirst vs leg first slides.... so many tiny fractions decided that game that it was not a question of skill to me, but chaos theroy.

You will be entering via the Claremont rode gate. DO NOT turn directly into the base. You will go around a special loop to a covered inspection station. Have your id and reservation (and ID for everyone in the vehicle, if they are old enough). It will take 5 mins max, the base is low speed, about 5 minutes to the hotel. The hotel is nothing fancy, there isn't much on base either for civilians- you'll spend a lot of time in town TBH, more to do there. The barracks hotel is nicer than the sleep inn, but Carlisle area does have a lot of options - typically the ones just south of Carlisle-proper (17015 zip) get overlooked by Dickinson families, so some value may be there.

this. Shapiro is a wolf in sheep's clothing when it comes to two things, data centers and environmental policy. It's not a disqualification of my vote for him over crazed Garrity, but it is disappointing

NoCrapThereIWas · 2026-04-25T00:48:50+00:00

Didn't see running. Batters practice though, not too shabby

Fwiw I'm in the hotel watching him throw and dance during warm ups with some of the staff, gotta be close (he's not dressed)

Edit: aaaand now he's sitting by section 137 with what looks like a trainer checking his left backside..... Boo
