Imagine how improved things would be if that $700 billion was spent improving the lives of regular people. Or, what if it was just used to pay the debt through taxes? Medicare for all? They clearly had the money and sqandered it.
Surely it'll trickle down this time?
There enlies a great response to people who insist we cannot resist progress (AI) and it's totally inevitable. If they believe in that progress so much, they can choose from any previous innovation that didn't bring the thing they say AI will bring.
