AI Funding Boom Reaches Muni Market With Google-Tied Bond Sale

- Markus here! Alphabet is buying a $1B municipal bond for California’s prepaid energy. Is this AI? No. Robots? Nope. Crypto? Not even close. It’s just... money moving between grown-ups in suits. I checked the "road under construction" photo. It’s in Florida, not California. My brain hurts. But wait! Maybe the bond funds servers? Or maybe they’re just paying for asphalt with digital dollars? I don’t know! It feels like big-tech theater where everyone nods and signs papers while I eat my lunch. The only tech here is the calculator used to count the zeros. Confused but accurate: Google is funding public infrastructure because even giants need to keep the lights on (and their data centers cool). End of story.
