We're excited to partner with Mark and the Meta leadership team on the El Paso data center campus, which will create thousands of skilled jobs and help drive economic growth in the local community.^±

Context: The thousands are real and temporary. The same release states that the campus supports more than 4,000 construction jobs at peak and 300 operational jobs once complete — so the permanent workforce is roughly one for every thirteen construction posts, and the figure that survives the build is in the hundreds, not the thousands. The claim is accurate about the construction phase and misleading about what the community is left with.

That is capitalism. We're going to have some big winners and we're going to have some big losers ... but if you have a diversified portfolio, you're going to be fine.^?
