    I’ve seen pictures of data centers with parking lots full of cars. Are they going to ferry people to and from work each shift?

      Probably like an oil rig rotation. You live and work for a contracted period of time on the boat, then you cycle off with someone else every few months or so.

          People on oil rigs aren’t necessarily the most skilled in their field. They still make well above median income because they put up with shit like this. Im sure something similar would develop. Would you sign up for a 12 week contract if it paid $60k?
