And the Swedish Finns. And the Nordics in general. Their principled pragmatism is refreshing.

The people selling the hardware and building the data centers are the ones who will profit. In a Gold Rush it's the person selling shovels and pics that gets rich.

I think most people can get behind the sentiment. The tricky part is what should be done. We could argue about that for eternity.

They might have to do the unthinkable and invest in training and education. The horror!
