JB Pritzker turned Illinois into a dumping ground for Big Tech data centers. I'll end every taxpayer-funded giveaways for data centers that gobble up land, strain our power grid, and create few jobs.

Data Centers are the new economy breeding ground. Drive them away and you'll be making sure your children and their children move to places with jobs. High tech well paying jobs. Along with all the supporting infrastructure they bring with them. They pay for their own power.

Data centers don’t create jobs

And men can become women. Have you ever been to a Data Center? They create dozens of onsite jobs and dozens of support jobs. You clearly are out of touch.

@DarrenBaileyIL Building a big data center creates a bunch of construction jobs at first. But once it's running, it's usually pretty automated with far fewer permanent jobs.

@DarrenBaileyIL This is true with lower tier data centers that aren't huge. The bigger and more complex the DC, the more people are needed. A Tier 4 Data Center is not going to be automated. They must have more human resources. A.I. Data Centers are Tier 4 with dozens of employees.

@DarrenBaileyIL Well, there isn't much information out there right now.

@DarrenBaileyIL Agree. Unless you're actually a day to day participant, it's hard to fully understand all variables to this.

I am concerned with how data facilities will impact our productive farmland, while what's their impact on acreage prices, (short trem)? Communities will grow around them. Is that good or bad for nearby cities with dewlind populations? Any studies?

While data centers expand, oversight and protections aren't keeping pace. The same concerns apply to Flock cameras where legislation has not caught up with their use.

Our residential electric bills literally tripled and in some businesses, quadrupled. We desperately need them to go back to normal. Idk how seniors, those on disability and the poor are paying theirs!

You should go to the little community of Essex Illinois and communicate with the citizens. The small town is about to be swallowed by Constellation. They bought 700 acres, half of the town.

Farmland feeds the world, data centers don't. Fund the farmer not big tech.

I bet he owns a lot of the properties they lease or bought and he has investments in those companies.

He’s invested in companies that receive state subsidies to build them. Subsidies he’s signed off on.

First, I will not vote for you because you have no idea how to write proper sentences. Second, you have no idea what you are talking about. The power grid is strained because Democrats are moving Illinois to the most environmentally destructive forms of energy production, wind and solar. Third, the problem with AQI and data centers is that they are worthless because the data being drawn from and being retained is 90% false or based on Progressive ideology.

How about these illegals that have terrorized black neighbors. That’s right you don’t care about your black citizens.

You're going to break with trump on data centers? If he notices you now, it won't be for anything good.

Illinois had a business decline of 15% per this report. Ask Pritzker why he keeps saying he has grown the business.

He was desperate to try and replace the population. & businesses that failed under his draconian Covid shut down or were taxed out of the state.

We can have AIDCs that supply their own power and operate on a cloed cooling system. A ban is a terrible idea.

@DarrenBaileyIL is running for governor of Illinois against @GovPritzker. His platform includes making Illinois tollways freeways again, as was supposed be done in 1988. He needs our support.

They always tell you WHAT THEY WILL SUPPOSEDLY DO based on the promised end result but never tell you HOW they're going to do it.

They only provide a classrooms worth of jobs once they are built. They aren't factories where 100's or even 1000's of people a day can earn a living. Data centers basically operate with a skeleton crew. Ask the land owners around these centers how their water supply is doing
