The Pentagon accepted a $130 million anonymous donation to pay active-duty troops during the government shutdown, a move that raises questions about private funding.
The contribution will only cover a small amount of the funds needed to pay the troops.

Without data centers, GDP growth was 0.1% in the first half of 2025, Harvard economist says | Fortune
Is a U.S. without data centers a country without GDP growth?
Without data centers, GDP growth in H1 2025 was just 0.1% (Harvard). Translation: the economy only βgrowsβ for servers and billionaires, not workers. No real factories, jobs, or progressβjust digital illusions. #Capitalism #TechOligarchy #GDPMyth

Expansion of mass transit would do more to reduce emissions and get cars off of the road. Increased sales of vehicles with small displacement engines or hybrids would make reduced emissions from cars more approachable.
