alt Hacker NewsHeating homes keeps humans alive who then go onto work, creating economic value.
A DC supplies, like, 12 jobs maybe. The 10,000 homes worth of power it uses supplies 20,000 jobs, maybe more if some older kids are working at the local Dairy Queen.

No, you don't understand. Sending bytes back and forth creates real economic value. We shouldn't heat homes and have supermarkets in this day and age, the margins are miniscule.
This is deranged. It's like saying entire economy hinges on underwear manufacturing because everyone needs one pair.
