What’s so funny is data centers aren’t even infrastructure. They don’t provide society with any great achievements or advancement or support.
The AI build-out is on track to become the biggest economic bet in U.S. history, dwarfing the investments made to fund other huge U.S. infrastructure projects such as the railroads, the highway system and the plumbing for the internet.

The AI Build-Out Is Becoming the Biggest Economic Bet in U.S. History
Data-center spending is greater than that for canals, railroads and grid combined—creating jobs and stock-market wealth, while boosting inflation and crowding out housing.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign.
The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers.

“It was eye-opening for me, frankly. ‘Oh my God, all of it is for sale. It’s all for sale,’” former executive Eric Schiff said.

U.S. President Donald Trump is making communism a midterm attack line against Democrats. But this week, he's rolling out the red carpet for Chinese President Xi Jinping, the leader of the world's most powerful communist country.

President Donald Trump says that communism is the greatest threat the U.S. has ever faced. But he's hosting the leader of the world's most powerful communist country this week — Chinese President Xi Jinping.

CAR-T therapy is magical.
As a cancer survivor and the youngest member of the Board of Directors for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society, I worked closely with Penn’s Dr. Carl June, who invented this therapy.
They legit train HIV cells to attack only the cancerous cells in the body—truly groundbreaking.

You should see this: A 3-year-old's metastatic liver cancer is in complete remission for over a year after two doses of experimental CAR T-cell therapy. CAR T-cells (immune cells re-engineered to find & kill cancer) struggle with solid tumors, but this is a breakthrough.

The scope of Dans’ potential conflicts is unclear.
Early in his career, he says he worked in similar circles as Putin envoy Kirill Dmitriev, who he called the Kremlin’s “ace in the hole.”
At one point, Dans reported a stake in a parent co. that ran many Papa Johns in Russia.

We moved in 2019. We lived with family for about 5 months, then bought a new home in a modest neighborhood. We expected to stay <5 years and move into a more established neighborhood (trees). Now the cost is so high we will never be able move, but our trees have grown. At least we have trees now.
Housing director Bill Pulte lies his ass off: "The cost of a new home is in some cases 20%, 30% lower than it was under Biden ... President Trump was crushed inflation."

That’s absolute bullshit. Our rural community is full of Lennar homes and each development is more expensive than the last. You can’t lower prices by 30% when the input costs increase every year and the labor force is also contracting. That doesn’t even make sense.

I worked at a car dealership (business ops) during the last recession. 0% interest loans waaaay too big for some people to carry. But they got them anyway. The first rumblings came with overdue balance reports (on car loans as well as credit cards). Lots of repos. We are there all over again. 📌
"About 13% of all credit card balances are now overdue by 90 days or more, but a lot of people actually fell into delinquency a couple of years ago coming out of the pandemic. That debt is still following them around."

Their interest in “alternative” medicine is because they want a cut of the billions that people spend on medication to go to them and their snake oil instead. They have a baked-in audience! And they want to send them the money directly so they can then get it back through snake oil purchases. 🤝
