This is the play. They are giving up $3.3B (?) in incentives to the get the data center, which will strain the power grid and cost citizens. Why not (bribery) invest that in the power grid directly so it can support both, and monetize on it. Almost nowhere has the power needed for these data centers, so advertising reliable power would be a big selling point. And you can charge them enough to recoup the investment over time, and the citizens they are supposed to represent would actually benefit.

It was mentioned in other comments.

The high deductible is the insurance company taking advantage of you. The fact that you can save for that tax free does not offset that you shouldn’t have to pay for it in the first place.

Apples and oranges.

Contractors get paid directly with no taxes taken out. They must deduct it from their pay themselves.

Employees get taxes deducted before they are paid.
