Data Center Revolution · Ep 147: Why Data Centers Will Rebuild the Middle Class with Greg Genung - Part 1 · 12 May 2026 podcast

And I always use the automobiles.

The, I think the last massive transformational infrastructure program in America is the interstate highways, right?

People don't realize that, you know, we ran basically eight or nine or 10 highways, North and South and eight, nine East and West.

And that's outside the railways.

That's how you would drive all throughout the country.

And, and,

People don't realize that in the early stages when we were creating cars, nothing put more strain on local infrastructure than an automobile.

We built cars before we had mechanics.

There were no trades for mechanics back then.

It was if you worked at a bicycle shop or a fabrication shop, you were probably going to be able to gravitate into that career field.

But there was no origination of schools to standardize on training, right?

So people learned because they were hobbyists.

They were like, hey, this is a new toy.

I'm going to play with it.
