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

No doubt you have a nice bike or computer or you spend money on something often like movies or board games or something.

Do you argue that money should all go to feeding the hungry?

Quite the stretch when you compare a bike to trillions wasted on products that 1) don't generally benefit humanity 2) could actually be used for real research instead of preserving an ad racket.

But, yeah. Keep comparing the egregious billionaires looking to lock out competition and hold on to their billions with all their might! Clearly it has to be the bike or board games the normies own, though. FFS.

It's always so easy to argue about spending someone else's money, especially if you can present it as a moral crusade, isn't it?
