~$570 per person. And that's the starting amount, it'll go up.
These figures don't count a lot of legacy costs to these conflicts either. Which skyrocket with injuries to soldiers and the like.
They also don't count the economic and social costs of the long-term fuel and food shortages and supply chain disruptions this war will cause.
But just think of the profits for department of war contractors like open ai, nvidia, and palantir.
Not to mention the traditional crowd (Lockheed, Boeing etc)
Nvidia has a lot to learn, GPUs are buy once, cry once. Munitions are disposable, and need to be replaced. When nvidia manages to fit a H100 in the body of a missile, the real money printing begins :)
And the oil companies! Their profits are skyrocketing
