Here's the Left of Lansing "Friday Short" for November 21, 2025.
It appears the Big Tech push for A.I. data centers isn't what the working class wants in their neighborhoods and towns.
Despite massive opposition, like what we saw in Howell Twp., MI this week, government and Big Tech are working together to build these water and energy-sucking data centers thanks to massive state and local tax breaks while creating very little jobs.
If the rush for A.I. data centers is such a lucrative boon to the economy, then why are we giving tax breaks to these billionaire big tech bros?
