I'm grateful for the unmitigated good that is corporate America. This Thanksgiving, I recognize they increase output (of laid off workers), lower prices (if that price is wages) and contribute to the good of America's White House Ballroom.

Neo Brandeisians are rude anti-intellectuals untethered from economic theory.
If you don't read their articles or the econ literature they cite beyond IO, it's pretty obvious they are anti-intellectual. Call them names and reject their arguments out of hand!

Who should pay the extra energy costs associated with the wave of electricity and water hogging data centers?
Whether you believe it is the utility in terms of lower profits or budget-strapped ordinary people, the answer is clearly not the data centers.
