This perfectly encapsulates what the GOP position is on the shutdown.

Never thought I'd see the second Great Depression in my lifetime. I guess here we are.

Just like the first one, this one was brought on and made worse by Republican governance.

Just wait until the AI and crypto stock crash happens (I give it a few more months at most).
It could be the great reset moment.

Hmm....they'll probably get a bailout to keep them afloat. But AI doesn't really have a sensible long-term business plan. Reputational harm to the brand will only increase over time. It's only going to last as long as government are willing to fund it.

First internet bubble,
Real estate crash 2008,
Both of them were adjusting things back to viable models.

With AI, I know it's 'the future', I just think it's at least another 10-15 years away before anybody figures out how to make it actually any good. I keep hearing people saying about 10% of AI is useful today, so 90% is just slop videos. The numbers are scary, too big to bail out this time.
