Noah Smith: Data center boom is supporting U.S. economy amid political challenges
Data center boom sustaining U.S. economy

Noah Smith, columnist / economist at Bloomberg Opinion, argues that those seeking a nationwide ban on data centers are risking serious consequences.

He states that the ongoing boom in data centers is currently the primary factor supporting the U.S. economy, especially given what he refers to as 'Trumpian stupidity and mismanagement' from U.S. President Donald Trump.

Smith has previously commented on how economic growth is making higher-quality homes accessible to more working-class Americans in recent reporting. He has also examined the impact of rising stock and housing prices on young people's ability to build wealth in a separate analysis. These topics reflect his ongoing focus on the intersection of economic trends and personal financial outcomes.
