Independent thinking for complex markets and current events
by Michael It feels like someone has pulled a plug, because the U.S. economy is suddenly caught in an extremely alarming downward spiral.

The next decade could make 2008 look like a warm-up, and nobody is ready for the consequences already stacking in plain sight. If you’re trying to compare today’s …
They just want infinity trillion in CAPEX to fill their bags before being exposed. I mean it’s hilarious. These are the leading minds of the entire AI industry?
