I think the difficulty of this for policymakers, let's say central bankers, let's say fiscal authorities, is the economy is going to be growing, but it will not show up in the productivity statistics.
So they're going to have to make a bet.
Is the economy becoming much more productive?
Is the technology hitting more sectors?
And what should they do about it?
As a first approximation, my simple version of this is everything technology touches gets cheaper.
Question economics is, is it an 18 month head start and everyone catches up or can they permanently build a moat?
So I think it's super exciting for the United States.
And my bet would be that we're the early innings, but the relative growth of the United States is.
at the cutting edge of this productivity wave relative to the rest of the world, will gap out even further in the next five years than it has in the past.
So it's an incredibly exciting opportunity, and it's one where the U.S.
plays its cards right.
We'll end up with
a stronger workforce, more important companies, and that prosperity we'll have in economics will find its way into national security so the rest of the world can look at the U.S.
again as a shining city on the hill.
Most people in America really are starting to really hate rich people.
And there's no physical space that better represents the wealth in America, the wealth creation that's happened that a lot of people feel left behind from than the data center.
What other physical space is there to go to?
It is the temple of the wealthy.
It is the mechanism, the tool, the machinery of the wealthy.
