My unpopular socialist opinion: infrastructure should be nationalized (electric grids and telephone/internet) and then owned by local governments at the municipal level. Service providers/retailers should pay to access those grids and the money should be used to support maintenance and improvements.

*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!💣

As someone who grew up in a remote area that benefited from rural cooperative telephone service and electric grids, I am heartbroken that the effort to expand internet access was corrupted like this. 💔🤍💙 www.slowboring.com/p/beads-quie...
