I post this article for the first sentence: "Rural America has long been where the rest of the country sends what it doesn’t want nearby: prisons, power plants, landfills." That says it all about the writer and the elitists at NYTimes. Good grief!

Yo Larry

The ILLEGAL alien detention centers protect the rural communities and provide jobs

Your conflations are vile.

Brought to you by the same people who want to import hordes from the Third World to populate these same rural areas.

No one - neither in rural America nor in suburban nor in urban America - wants a prison, power plant, or landfill nearby.

But what the NYT writer has revealed about himself - even if he doesn't necessarily (I haven't read the rest of the article so don't know what controversial opinions he might go on to voice) explicitly endorse the position of the Supervisor of the impacted town himself - is that he shares this aversion of "refugees."

There was a similar story about a month ago where in Social Circle, Georgia the DHS had purchased a large warehouse to be used for a detention center.

Since the leftist court judges have forced DHS to deport the illegals in this fashion, I have no problems with unused warehouses being used as detention centers prior to deportation.

Yeah, South central Ohio is getting a data center. Lots’a jobs they say. Lots’a this and lots’a that. But no housing...

[KevinB]

The author should drive through Prince William and Loudoun counties in Virginia sometime. They’re hardly rural and are full of data centers. Rural areas typically don’t have required electrical and water systems available for data centers.

The author left solar panel fields off his list. And giant windmills that start aging out the day they are installed. The “used to be farmland” all around the small town I live in is covered with the things.

No he's right. Lived in rural America long enough to see this first hand although nobody thought the power plants were a bad idea.
We tried to fight the prison but the combo of state and local pols on the take won out. It provided zero local employment while definitely lowering quality of life.

[rbg81]

Yeah. And once the Dems get back into power, those detention centers will be used for citizens protesting the Illegal invasion.

[central_va]

I am 1000% in favor of these alien detention centers.

[central_va]

I voted for this!

[Organic Panic]

So how is the impact worse with a detention center than with a huge distribution warehouse?

Good to know the NYT cares about the rural little people.

I grew up in NYC (left 1983 - a great place to be *from*) and still have little direct experience with rural America.

But I still immediately sense the condescension oozing from that article.

Of course people like that NY Times writer are that way to working class urban people too.
Really to anyone of any class that can be said to do anything productive.

AT LEAST THE ILLEGAL DETENTIONS WILL SUBSIDE

THE DATA CENTERS WILL NOT

THERE ARE PLANS FOR A 40,000 ACRE SUCH FACILITY IN N UTAH—NEAR BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS.

THAT IS 62.5 SQUARE MILES 10 MILES X 6.25 MILES

WILL REQUIRE MORE POWER THAN ENTIRE STATE OF UTAH CURRENTLY USES===

CHEW ON THAT.....
