Ohio hits pause on datacenter tax breaks draining its coffers

Tax the tokens Don't let them steal resources and take from society without giving anything back 100% tax now

They talk about subsidies, "draining its coffers", and "taxpayers helping some of the richest corporations on the planet buy servers, equipment, and power infrastructure", but it doesn't seem like they have lost any money, just that the tax breaks mean that they haven't earned as much as they could. Not that I think that those datacenters should have those tax breaks, but the language seems quite misleading if not an outright lie, presumably without those the datacenters would have been built elsewhere.

My viewpoint has always been that if there's enough demand, it'll get built regardless of tax breaks. But once one place cracks even the tiniest bit, it all falls apart. Apes together strong.
