While IBEW proudly calls its members the “power behind the AI revolution,” some electricians quietly wrestle with guilt, avoiding even mentioning their work on these massive facilities. One anonymous electrician, drawn by rapid career growth and management opportunities, sees the trend as inevitable and worth joining—even if it means contributing to a system he questions. Meanwhile, Ryan, a union electrician, refuses to work on data centers, fearing corporate power and global shifts toward right-wing governance, and will pass up assignments even if it means downtime. The episode captures a quiet but fierce divide: some see these jobs as survival in a rigged economy, others see them as complicity in a system they’re trying to escape.
