You are assuming the datacenter would be built there without the incentive. That is highly unlikely.

Yes, I'm assuming Facebook still needs the datacenter, and that the company that wasted $80B on the Metaverse can pay some taxes.

There are 50 states in the US and plenty of other locations to build datacenters. "Still needing the datacenter" isn't a reason to build it in this specific location. It's ok to just admit you were wrong.

I hear unionization is great for collective bargaining. Maybe the states should form a union...
