Can you be a bit more specific? Which technologies defeat poverty where?

everything. There isn't one particular technology driving this. My hometown of İstanbul has been transformed. Modern buildings are replacing horrible slums, there are new subway lines opening every year and almost everything is improving over time.

Turkey is fact actually building infrastructure like china.

People in the US hard time understanding thatnthe world moving forward while we are wasting our lives at the airports and hihhway traffic without proper national infrastructure plan to fix any of this shit.

And before any of you bootlickers start yupping about biden state aid for parasites... Let's be real it is too late, too small, mainly focuses on corrupt highway construction, not enough maintenance, airlines bailouts and only then few bucks for rail to pacify "educated" crowd.

There is no plan, another generation of public investment looted. Hope y'all love that traffic and being treated like cattle at the airport.

Cheers!
