Can the stockmarket swallow Anthropic, SpaceX and OpenAI?

I appreciate the perspective. From where I sit in America, morale is as dead as it gets. The president wrote himself a $2B check, and both his supporters and opponents are resigned to this massive theft. Restrictions on voting are nonsensical, the Supreme Court is transparently ruling based on who will benefit rather than what the laws say, and masked “police” are terrorizing communities.

Of course I’ll vote, and be more active in protests and campaigns, but TBH the general vibe is that it’s already too late. It’s that bad.

I know and understand. I follow American politics closely since it’s a massive incubator for techniques that get applied globally.

I promise you, it can be worse. This is kind of where being a first world person works against you; you have not experienced the feeling of hopelessness and lethargy that infects you when you live under a corrupt regime for an extended length of time.

America used to work, especially in comparison to other states.

Consider that your advantage, you have lived in a world where you know things were held under checks and balances. That it takes immense effort to undermine the systems which were set up.
