Q1 Economic Growth In Q1 Was 2%

Nearly all of it came from AI infrastructure, 0% from Trump's promises: moving industry back to the USA chief among them.

The PCI price index, on the other hand, rose 4.5%. Hint: You don’t need ChatGPT to tell you that Trump’s tariffs are hitting consumers. Trump still says other countries are paying the tariffs, but you have a brain, right? If you're MAGA, the answer is YOU are paying for it and jobs are NOT coming back to the USA.

If only the news was that good. Business is actually leaving the building now.. But the AI limit will be reached soon enough, when the power output is outstripped by the data centre requirements, since there is almost no renewable infrastructure..
(Hint) The Chinese are already doing it bigger, better and faster...😷

And even Trump has said that oil prices "May Be ‘a Little Bit Higher’"

@jshm2 Not really. The real issue is that AI cost is higher than hiring engineers to solve the same problem as well as having multiple providers delivering the same service. It is, however. being done the American way.

And it happens time after time.

We built too many railways and handful emerged that eliminated the companies that overspent.

Same thing with the oil industry, starting with Kerosine.

Same thing with telecom deregulation.

Same thing with the Internet.

And now it's Data Centers.

So the post went over your head. But if you think it's childish, feel free not to respond.
