    We could solve world hunger for a fraction of what that would cost. I wonder which we will do first? I will be holding my breath waiting.

      The only reason people are starving in this day and age is because people don’t care to fix it. We have the resources and the means. Starvation is a problem of policy.

    You know what could really improve infrastructure? Taxing billionaires and their corporations and spending that money on all the things the USA is currently defunding.

    Fucking waste of time and money. Ruining the planet even more and accelerating our demise while they’re at it. Could be actually helping people with that money.

      But don’t you know that the collective wisdom of Reddit, Twitter, and 4chan put in a glorified autocomplete is going to save the world?

      Yes, but if we spend all our resources to build it they can finally use AI to manipulate everyone simultaneously and destroy our way of life. Can’t you see the benefit here!?

      No matter what denomination of bills or coins it could be I’d rather see sam shove all that money up his ass. It could take a week or a month or even possibly a year and I wouldn’t want to miss a minute of it.

      Some people have estimated 8x energy use for 5 as compared to 4 but the model is not 8x better, this has to be a clue to them that increasing power is not the way. But nope, trillions of dollars more will fix it.
