The worst part of all of these charades is there isn't even a side-effect benefit for the average person. Our make-work programs don't build roads, they terrorize immigrants. Our "ghost cities" aren't future homes for a rapidly urbanizing population, they are enormous datacenters that actively harm rural communities.

As someone who enjoys urbex videos, at least I'll get to feast on abandoned datacenter explorations in a few years. Can't wait for that giant hole in the ceiling with a tree growing in the shaft of light surrounded by mounds of rust that used to be nVidia GPUs, the imagery will be great.
