Meta data center floods Louisiana school district with $50,000 teacher bonus checks

- A rural Louisiana school district paid certified staff about $45,000 in extra sales-tax checks this year thanks to the Meta data center being built in the parish; the June check alone was $50,000, versus $10,000 a year earlier.
- The poster's take: a data center is "a tax base with servers inside it." Parishes that channel the surplus into teacher pay get a story nobody can argue with; the rest just get a warehouse and a fight.
