    Knowing Finland’s governments, it won’t be even those. They’ll more likely take Google’s side and tell the population how it’s a price we must pay for being competitive, and how we need these foreign corporations raping Finnish nature to create jobs and shit. No European bougie gives a shit about the countries they lead or the populations they claim to represent.

      Well, the current government is run by corporate puppets and right wing nutters that were willing to do anything just to be called ministers.

      Not very hard to guess how this is gonna go.

        Yup, that’s true. For me it seems that even the nominally leftist and ““socialist”” seem to be of like minds with the corporate stooges.

          Shocking… You can’t vote in socialism. Unfortunately, people jerk the Nordic countries so hard they can’t see they’re run off imperialism, resource extraction, and the same awful capitalist system.

          I’m not directing this at you BTW, I can assume you’re probably a socialist or communist based on your instance. It’s just sad to see libs continue to think that Europe is somehow this wonderland utopia. But it’s still run by the Epstein class, many of the families there of far older influence than in the Western hemisphere.

            Old money, new money… the problem is capitalism, the answer is proletariat organizing. It’s true though, many people in Europe see the problems of unfettered capitalism in America, but somehow seem to fail to consider that it could, will and is happening here also.

      “Petteri Orpo, said attracting investment was a ‘top priority’ and ‘the value of the data economy extends far beyond direct investment’” Bull. Shit. Unless they have a plan to tax the snot out of this DC they’ll get nothing but resource drain and a handful, maybe two handfuls, of jobs.

      I think what happens is that governments look at the plans and their brains light up thinking it’s like an old-time factory. The AI company then shows how many people will be employed in construction and let’s the official go on and think that work will continue.

        Don’t the ai data centers run at a loss? A negative fine would be called subvention then…

        No that’s just for the poors and proles. The corporations will never face repercussions because the politicians are in their C-suite
