They'd probably lose money on the stocks with the way things are going. It'd let the owners offload risk. The residents are free to use the money to buy stocks if they want to.

>Everyone should get stocks considering AI is trained on everyone's data.

Anthropic's IPO is rumored to be $2T. For the sake of argument let's round it up to 10T to account for openai and any post IPO pop. For the sake of argument let's also assume the US government straight up expropriates any stake existing shareholders have. With those rosy assumptions, you get a whopping $29.4k per American. That's a nice stimmy check (but beware inflation!), but that's less than 2 years of federal government expenses.

Can’t you just buy the stocks with the money?

given that 60% of the usamerican populace lives paycheck to paycheck, this is accurate

It's enough money to me to be worth taking.

i approve of the data center, can you please give me a mac studio with max configuration instead of 10000$

More power than anything* the fibre usually comes later.

One going up near me is being built on the site of an old coal fired power plant. Lots of juice and an old dam for water. Theres not exactly 2000 cores of fiber out that way, but I am sure it will come eventually.

Theres some going into old paper mills and logging camps too, same sort of thing, near water, lots of juice, out of the way.

*Sometimes theres a simultaneous fibre buildout, or they are built where theres a lot passing through but its less of a concern afaik.

basically. You'd need to build out electricity and network infrastructure and that's not like plugging a cable into a pole. With the amount of power you need voltage substations, transmissions lines, upgrades to the existing grid, land assessments etc.

And obviously with it tons of skilled labor and people that would have to live somewhere.

10k per year would be a pretty good first attempt at a UBI, given the B is important.

A Can-Am Maverick R is around $50,000. Crazy money
