Google Will Spend $13 Billion On US Real Estate In 2019 (cnbc.com)
In a blog post today, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said the company is building new data centers and offices and expanding several key locations across the U.S., spending $13 billion this year. CNBC reports: Pichai outlined the plans, which include opening new data centers in Nevada, Ohio, Texas and Nebraska, the first time the company will have infrastructure locations in those states. The company is also doubling its workforce in Virginia, providing greater access to Washington, D.C., with a new office and more data center space, and expanding its New York campus at Hudson Square.
Google is showing its willingness to further open its wallet, after a year in which capital spending more than doubled to $25.46 billion. The company didn't say home much each location will cost or provide information on tax incentives from local communities. Pichai said the plans will likely create tens of thousands of construction jobs across Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio, Texas and Virginia, as well as Oklahoma and South Carolina, where the company is expanding existing data centers. Google didn't say how many new jobs the data centers and business offices would create. Pichai also said that the company is adding new office buildings in Texas and Massachusetts, building out more space in Illinois, Wisconsin, Washington state and Georgia, and redeveloping California locations near Los Angeles and in the Bay Area, including the Westside Pavillion and Spruce Goose Hangar.

Domestic spying is now "Benign Information Gathering"
Trump gave a speech he said exactly what McConnell said he would say, or something to that effect.
Data centers are the new "city" where soon our "brains in a jar" will live.
Maybe they are planning to open a Vancouver office. With the prices here, that should cover a medium sized office. Maybe even a couple of desks.
First law of people: People are generally stupid.
Trump will be living in a 6'x6' cell in 2019.
Other places were mentioned, too, but initially I was most impressed by the number of new employees the google wants to hire. Then I went back to consider where. Why do I smell some sort of propaganda offensive over technical considerations? Or maybe you have a more substantive interpretation? Why does the google want more human baggage?
I feel like I need to clarify that I believe corporate cancers like the google really hate to hire human beings. Real estate speculations might be more attractive, but humans are expensive and unreliable and extremely resistant to upgrades, plus the "smartest people" (whatever that means) tend to be "politically unreliable" (ditto), to boot. My fundamental position is that we need fewer cancers and more choices from smaller corporations.
As usual, I bid you ADSAuPR, atAJG.
Freedom = (Meaningful - Coerced) Choice != (Speech | Beer^2), and sad sock puppets' bad mods avail them naught.
Of what the Chinese are spending in Canada, America, Australia, England.
Real estate provides a better return on investment than simply doubling down on their business...

Your ad here. Ask me how!
incentives? After all, no smart large corp in this day and age does any expansion without tax incentives.
Hey, Ivan, could you make it more obvious?
Anyway, let's pretend you're not a Russian troll: I wouldn't be so sure about that. He's gonna have to beg Nancy Pelosi to give him his balls back, first.
You were generous enough to provide a sample of the wall in your post. Thank you.
The Mexican border is 1,954 miles. That is equivalent to 11.25 million sheets of 8.5 x 11 paper laid end to end, lengthwise. That is about 22,500 reams @ $3.47/ream at Walmart. Add the cost of a printer and ink cartridges.
For less than $100,000, we could use your post and my idea to print up a wall for Trump.
It will be just as effective as anything he proposes.
Finally they might be able to buy a condo in Sunnyvale.
