I'm not sure one can just pick lines out of random Gospels as 'what Jesus said',

That's literally how Christianity works. I don't know of any denomination that follows the entire Bible exactly. It's not even possible because the text is self-contradictory in places.

You're right, of course. But I also think it would open up a giant loophole for the wealthy. A car is essential for survival! A three million dollar car? ... A 15,000sqft house?

Of course, they could set reasonable limits. But when was the last time congress was reasonable?

This is the play. They are giving up $3.3B (?) in incentives to the get the data center, which will strain the power grid and cost citizens. Why not (bribery) invest that in the power grid directly so it can support both, and monetize on it. Almost nowhere has the power needed for these data centers, so advertising reliable power would be a big selling point. And you can charge them enough to recoup the investment over time, and the citizens they are supposed to represent would actually benefit.

Or, there's just no such thing as "typical" within an organ as complex as the human brain. There is only social contexts in which some brains thrive and others struggle... combined with the innate human instinct to form in groups and out groups.
