Tens of billions spent on AI data centers. But people still starve across the planet. Amazing.

Last time I commented something very similar thinking it was the least controversial no brainer thing and multiple people reacted as if it was some Leninist ragebait lol

Seems pretty successful then no for being such a young country. America is literally where all the major tech and internet companies are.

A young country that inherited old values, cultural norms, traditions and ethos.

It’s not like the US rose in a vacuum. It sees impressive on its face and to some extent I believe it is, but it has more to do with being a resource rich nation (lots of plentiful raw material within our borders) and the fact the last time we had a foreign invasion was during the war of 1812.

We aren’t some near unbelievable anomaly of history, we built on our British roots
