Step out of the SV bubble and you’ll see the economy is fine. The fact that tech was dumb and overextended themselves during and shortly after COVID while relying on ZIRP to fund those expenditures doesn’t mean everyone else did. Stir in changes to tax treatment around R&D that disproportionately impact tech and and no one should be surprised that industry might be getting hit while the rest of the economy ticks on just fine.
But… Why do you assume I have instant knowledge of acronyms because I opted to insert a comment on a topic that teased my interest? Does it pressuposes anything about my person?

ZIRP - zero interest rate policy. Very common term for anyone following macroeconomic policy since 2008.
Given the group we’re in I hope I don’t have to explain the rest.
Thank you.
