This is just SOOOO corrupt. After the mortgage securities crash of 2008/2009, banksters got bailed out by the government (both Republicans and Democrats guilty) and gave themselves bigger bonuses while hardworking Americans lost their homes. Looks like the same may happen again if/when AI crashes.

The government made money out of the crash. The bad bank executives did not get bonuses.

Does this explain Clarksville, Arkansas signing on for $50 billion in bonds for a Data Center?

I no longer have any insurance but I do pay a hell of a lot of taxes.

Palantir is doing gangbusters...by NOT working with the Big AI Mafia, and setting up companies with their OWN, private LLMs onsite.
