This just in, Gold Rushes are a boon to shovel makers….
Concrete pumper trucks are in high demand around here.
Well that’s fabulous. Good thing we didn’t need them to build housing, because there’s not a shortage of that or anything.
Wait until you find out where the [money behind the gold rush](https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/2025/10/data-centers-ai-crash/684765/?gift=DyQoil9_0SM04ytShRNR5xNnM9WCTOyHlBaUoeBmOEY) is coming from.
We’ve seen Terminator. It’s about time someone does a prequel and shows this timeline. That’s where we’re at.
I work admin for a GE on the west coast. We just signed off on Multi Million Dollar Contracts for just data centers across the US mostly in rural places. Like Wyoming and west Texas and Oklahoma they are building like crazy! Unfortunately it means these places will build more housing and take up resources like water. Your rural towns will no longer be cheap safe havens from cities in the future I’m afraid because it’s the only way for companies like mine to avoid layoffs. We know the market is downturning and right now the construction industry is tanking EXCEPT for the ones building data centers or municipalities work
Yeah use up the resources for data, Trump mining, and storage units
People that build shit get money when shit need built. More at 7,
Bust coming soon.
But here’s the thing: construction was already booming before the data center craze took off. Housing construction was already driving construction demand. The trades were and are all begging for workers.
We’ll be seeing Swearengen’s Saloons go up soon
The availability of a labor force to build housing isn’t even a top 25 reason why we have a housing crisis.
And when it busts, they’ll be in pain.
I know an architect who left his firm and went to work for Amazon building data centers and gets paid a lot more now. Though it seems like it must be boring as hell.
If only we could build housing.
