Okay. About 50 million households in America earning under $50k.
8 billion is enough to give each of them $160. Great, all of Anthropic’s spending is enough to give each family a trip to Texas Roadhouse including dessert.
34.5M Americans below the poverty line. Divide out that $8B and it's a little over $230 per person.
Have you ever been in poverty? I grew up that way and the then-equivalent of $230 would have meant not skipping Christmas when I was 6. It would have meant a full refrigerator, gas for the car for a couple of months, or so many other things.
