@justiceseer.bsky.social*Total cost of the #AI-Slop-build-out through 2032 will be $10.3 TRILLION😱-many times that of previous infrastructure investments, from #canals,railroads, #telephone,electric-grids, to #interstate-highwaysystem.
And when the #AISlopBubble BURSTS💥- #US will be BANKRUPT!💣

@causticautistic.bsky.socialLike yes, there are certainly other contributing factors, but the rise of #carculture and the #interstate highway system is definitely up there when it comes to eating away at the #Murica so many are so nostalgic for.
@causticautistic.bsky.socialBut people wanted to go farther faster. Easier, without having to slow down passing though those small towns.
Enter the #interstate. Pure driving. Big city to big city, with just an occasional rest or truck stop with familiar chains to comfort a weary traveler.
@causticautistic.bsky.socialYou know what doesn't get nearly enough blame for destroying "Real America"?
#Carculture. Namely, the #interstate highway system.
If you look at the decline and fall of small towns across the country, it's often after an #interstate came though a few miles away. Faster, more efficient.
