    If this bubble bursts while Trump is still in office, then they will absolutely bail them out. Fraud is the common denominator for all Trump’s actions.

      dems would bail em out too, money printer Powell was in power under Bush and Obama…that’s no accident.

      fact is the entire US economy is predicated on the idea our financial markets remain unregulated, so our country can act as easy exit liquidity for the rest of the world. That’s been the underpinning of our entire economy since atleast the end of WW2

            He wasn’t chair under Obama. Bernanke was. He was appointed by Bush and he was succeeded by Janet Yellen who Obama actually appointed.

              …and the president doesnt set the chair, the point is republicans or neolibs are the ones who have chosen every person in the fed, they (the fed) have always had one goal and isnt “keeping inflation in-check” or “watching the health of job market”, those two things aren’t even remotely connected so ask yourself why/when that dual mandate came down and for what purpose it serves.

      I’m not sure government can. AI isn’t a profitable company with a product that people want which has a short-term cash flow problem, AI is a money pit that will just burn up as much cash as you can pour in.

      If they hand AI firms a trillion dollars, they’ll be back for another trillion next year.

        AI is worse than just unprofitable, it’s basically a drain on our entire economy. Instead of money being invested into useful and productive sectors they’re just lighting it on fire. Lighting another trillion dollars on fire with a bailout would just prolong the pain.

        Yeah. Automotive, insurance, and banking were industries when they collapsed in 08. They kept making bad calls (and automotive has continued to do so immediately after the government stopped forcing them not to), but the industries were bailed out because the consequences of not having them would be disastrous to the US economy.

        Unfortunately I do think a lot of the government feels not having AI dominance would be disastrous for the US economy so it could easily become a fight.
