    I work on the uninterruptible power supplies in many of these monstrosities. I heard from someone who works in one of them while I was on a job saying that they literally pay themselves off in 7 months. That’s how much money is flying around in this space, and all that money is just more explosive power for the bomb its going to be at the heart of our economy.

    Our team is being run ragged out here in the PNW because of the absolute mass of Data Centers being built on cheap land in eastern WA.

                Its true that most people don’t know how the debt works, but that is by design.

                We have 39 trillion in debt, but what did we use it for? Do we have nicer roads, better schools, or more hospitals? No.

                A huge part of the debt came from the bad bets of companies being offloaded onto the government via the treasury. People don’t understand just how cheap it was (we’ve just about hit the point where inflation is unavoidable) for the Epstein class to borrow government money.

                That borrowing was against our future and we won’t have the growth or infrastructure to justify that debt load. My reasoning is that the bow will break somewhere, and it will bring everything else down with it because the system isn’t sustainable as it exists today.
