This doesn't make any sense.

You asked this

> How do I, as an ordinary person, benefit from Meta's data centres?

And I gave the answer. How do you think you can eliminate the middleman?

> Enterprise Zone Tax abatement program

The amount I showed was after accounting for the Tax abatement program. And its almost as if there's a reason the state wants to have this program in the first place. Almost as if it helps broader society.

		You asked how data centres help you personally, I answered that it was taxes. Your response is that - no you don't need the money, you can get it elsewhere. This is a kind of senseless argument, I'll let you decide whether that's the case.
