    profits that won’t happen

    I have yet to see speculation as to how the bubble survivors make a profit. At this point I think AI is being pushed to keep propping up the US economy.

      That’s a great question Shalafi! The answer is government mandated pillow talks to your AI companions. Would you like me to provide todays’ topics in advance?

      You’re not alone in thinking that. The US economy is growing but all of that is allocated to 5 companies, and in any case the owners of that equity aren’t a majority median income earners. We’ve essentially decoupled the economic health of the common person, who would actually spend on the bubble survivors, from the overall “strength” of the US economy.
