Years ago, when this policy was first being contemplated, someone at google plugged a number, likely larger than this, into a spreadsheet analyzing the cost/benefit of spying on their customers.

This is just post-activation operating expense from their perspective.

Heaven as a persistent idea in modern society is just a cope that rich people feed poor people through religion. It’s a structure for us to accept our miserable earthly existence in anticipation of future wealth so that the rich can enjoy all of the trappings of heaven on earth.

It’s just metaphysical trickle down economics.

I’m sad there isn’t a heaven for them to be excluded from.

This is 100% correct. Evangelicals Christianity, never a beacon of rationality or clarity of doctrine, has now been fully captured by MAGA. There is no functional difference between Christian Nationalism and Evangelical American Christianity.

I worry this is only the beginning. I genuinely believe that Evangelicals will also embrace AI and incorporate it into their beliefs somehow. I also believe Trump will be divinized before his term is up - at least within Evangelical Christian Nationalism.
