- slfnflctd 8mo agoThe people who work in the datacenters don't want a long commute. Also, in a remote area, the third parties the owners require for continual maintenance will be fewer, take longer to respond, likely cost more, and may be less qualified than those you can find in a more populated area.
- duped 8mo agoPay them more then
- bluedino 8mo agoVery few people work in datacenters
- sylos 8mo agoso datacenters should be allowed to come into communities, consume their resources and barely hire the local populace?
