I'm not in the know with current events beyond the AI bubble needing to build a lot of infrastructure that doesn't exist and ICE needing a lot of warehouses for their concentration camps.

Then again, a lot of small-time businesses supposedly went and are going bankrupt + unemployment went way up compared to previous years, so there's probably some kind of disaster going on in the background.

Just guessing though...

Edit: came across this https://piefed.social/c/business/p/1796464/amd-s-ai-chips-to-be-used-as-debt-collateral-in-300-million-loan-report-says-cloud-star

Might be just a coincidence.
