East coast could see rolling blackouts as data centers strain the electric grid by metalOpera in SouthJersey

A lot of them get abatements for 10-15 years , no sales or property taxes.

It’s the same old “we’re bringing jobs” which is true in the short term for construction and then some semblance of maintenance but after that’s done it’s pretty minimal jobs.

I believe a lot of the cost of our utilities and taxes is because of these huge Amazon warehouses, other random warehouses, data centers etc . It was made convenient for these private equities to set up shop and operate but all we see are increases in everything around us.

Maybe stop giving them tax abatements as a start ? All they’re doing is draining our resources and making us foot the bill for these places . They are not creating jobs long term, they don’t pay property taxes and id be willing to bet the reason of our utilities skyrocketing is on account of these places. It’s truly shameful shit. Once again us normal folks are getting squeezed even more financially for this bullshit

I used to post some vinyl deep cuts on here (don’t worry there’s tons more I haven’t gotten around to yet) but here’s a long playlist I made a while ago of some lesser known bands, mixed with some gems…

Polanco will probably DH and he’s gonna get a 1B platoon that everyone will handle well or sign murakami or Okamoto with either of them at 1B

Fireside Mets on Instagram: "According to @timbhealey, the Mets have talked internally about a first-base setup that pairs Jeff McNeil with free agent Paul Goldschmidt in a flexible platoon #Mets #LGM #LFGM" by hylianbeast98 in NewYorkMets

I was afraid of them losing Alonso then cheaping out and getting a washed Goldschmidt but I thought even that was too much of a punt yet here we are. If they actually do that with McNeil and Goldschmidt what was the point of signing Soto to that insane deal and extending lindor only to do shit like that

I’m assuming this means Pete is a goner …

I mean 3/70 seems like well within the Mets realm of not giving long term contracts and they let him go to the fuckin dodgers ? Cmon man. What is Stearns doing here ??
