Factor out the AI companies doing circular dealing to juke their stock price and GDP growth was like 0.1% combine that with purchasing power loss and US economy is net negative.

Over 42 million people are about to lose their SNAP payments in 4 days[1] and millions more medical care.

The only publicly traded companies that are involved in what could be considered circular dealings in enough volume to affect their stock price are Nvidia and Oracle.

I never would have bet on an Nvidia crash alone being what causes the 21st century great depression, but reality is alwways stranger than fiction.
