One of my coworkers points out to me every sports reference that pops up in our internal company communications (e.g. "WINNING", "Going to put together a winning team," etc). It seems like everything in the US is couched in competitive language.

The US needs to start imagining something else. It's hard to think of the last war that the US won.

it would be nice if they declared War against global climate change.

Normally I'm inclined to agree regarding the mindless chest-beating in this country, but I don't think that makes sense here.

AI genuinely is that big of a deal. If any economic sector deserves this sensationalism, it's this.
