Borrowing state money that ultimately indentures a country with over-engineered massive boondoggle projects.

That regulatory capture con strangled more emerging economies than most like to admit. =3

The datacenters of Meta, Google, Amazon, etc. are primarily funded by the government?

Do they get tax breaks, subsidy, loan deals, and naive non-voting investor money?

My point was these folks never gamble with their own cash from revenue. It is always the tax payer that ends up holding the gamblers debts. =3

The government also has "tax breaks" for certain foods and my 401k. Does that make my evening meal and retirement plan "state money funded" as well?

Well?

Indeed, every US child is now born -$108,000 in national debt due to the behavior of their parents.

The classic boondoggle state funded "big" projects have bankrupted many economies. Inflation corrected, people can expect $0.84 back for every dollar they now put into retirement plans. =3
