Raw LLM Responses

> By pressing pause on data centers, says Dan Diorio, who represents the industry lobbying group Data Center Coalition, Maine is missing out on money. “A statewide moratorium on data centers would discourage investment and send a signal that Maine is closed for business,” he said in a statement. “It would deprive local communities of the opportunity to compete for investment and jobs, while forcing Maine to relinquish significant long-term economic investment.” I am so tired of the "but all the jobs!!!" argument. Our <20k person town is debating approval of a 1,500,000 square foot data center and the people representing the data center give that line at every opportunity, yet then come to our planning commission meetings requesting a huge variance on our number of required parking spots (which yes, is ridiculous, but not the point of this comment) because "despite the size of the building, there are relatively few full-time employees on site at any given time". Which is it, you fucks? Are you bringing tons of jobs in, or do you employ so few people long term that you only need a couple dozen parking spots at most?
