Billionaires think they can buy anything. What? They can? Dammit!

the nation could be left in the dust.
wdym amazon, we already are. Have you seen the cost of living when compared to wages? Data centers won't help that.
The fun part is that amazon is spending 250 billion/year on data centers, while this 1 billion "payout" to the communities is spread out over 5 years, so its actually 250 million/year, or almost exactly 0.1% or their datacenters spend.
They are literally willing to spend 99.9% of their money fucking over communites, and think 0.1% is enough to get the pleebs to shut the fuck up about their lives being ruined.
They are so greedy, they can't even snap off 1% of their greed to enable more greed.
