Commentary
US AI infrastructure growth is a strategic asset. Capacity on allied soil beats renting hope from hostile clouds.
Debt is real. So is losing the compute race to China. Prefer disciplined American buildout over lecture tours about degrowth.
Power, chips, and interconnects are the new steel mills. Treat them like industry, not fashion.
Discussion
