    Don’t worry too much about it. Even if the economy isn’t doing too well right this very moment the national economy is deeply, deeply invested in AI, so when that really takes off it will all be fine!

    The numbers are too great for mortal comprehension. Simply gazing upon them would melt the brain of the common prole. The sages are looking for an economic Metatron to deliver the numbers to the masses in a non-mind blowing way.

      If people were buying stonk it was a sign that the econony was good. If people were not buying stonk it was a sign that foreign interference was tricking them and they were failing the econony, which was good. parenti-hands

        if people are not buying stonk it’s because they’re being fearful, and you should be greedy (buy stonk) when others are fearful

          It’s funny because all of this is true historically speaking. Over the last like 100 years, it has never been a bad time to buy stonk. I think it’s understandable that people whose grandparents weren’t alive the last time it was a bad idea to buy stonk think that a bad time to buy stonk will never come. Americans have been on easy mode for so long.

              Well yeah it’s always a bad time to buy individual stonks, as long as you don’t have the benefit of hindsight. Gotta stay diversified

      For reference, probably the biggest corruption scandal in the USSR. Cotton production was over-reported, and bureaucrats lived luxurious lives while embezzling Soviet state resources. It did not go unpunished, with thousands of arrests in the post-Brezhnev era but those people were freed with the collapse of the USSR.
