If the server farm build out tanks, all those construction workers are out of work, a la 2008. And all the material suppliers are on hard times. Local US governments are seeing no payoff on the tax incentives they granted. And then there's the debt and who's backstopping it and how that impacts your ability to buy a house or a car. Again, 2008. A myriad of feedbacks. The housing crises was both a Wall Street, company balance sheet crises that affected damn near everyone. Don't think you're insulated. None of us are and that's why we should be calling out this crazy shit.
