So basically the consumer market is screwed until the AI bubble bursts and manufacturers (GPUs, RAM, HDDs, etc.) can rebalance their production lines back to the pre-AI division of enterprise vs consumer product.
As workers, we are majorly screwed no matter what happens. Either AI/Robotics takes off, and creates a permanent 50% unemployment class, which MAGA will solve by exchanging basic subsistence needs like shelter and water in work camps, where we will be leased out to corporations as slaves, under the 13th Amendment. Also a good place for any dissenters, journalists, attorneys and judges who won’t go along, etc.
Or maybe the bubble will pop, and we’ll have a repeat of 2008, except 100 times worse.
No matter what happens, the citizens are going to take it in shorts.
Do you think that this time the lesson will stick? Will we stop lionizing rich, lazy, smug fucks who’s protein would be more useful as fertilizer for our crops?
We have to MAKE it stick. We are at a point of no return. We have to take back control of our country, and stop trusting politicians to do right by us. They have proven over and over that they won’t.
And a major part of it will be recalibrating our relationship with the wealthy. They think their money has bought them control of anything they want, and we have to HARSHLY disabuse them of that notion. We control and regulate THEM, not the other way around. They will do what’s best for this nation, or their fortunes will be re-allocated to better uses.
We can’t kick the can down the road any further. Time to crush the can.
It sounds like we are in agreement that examples must be made. A hot stove is a powerful teacher, and seeing a conspecific or two get their fingers burned to a cinder will serve that cause well.

I am sure you will be able to subscribe to use a share along with hundreds of other people for 1 computer at $19.99 a month going forward.
That’s about the size of things, yes.
In 2030 you will own nothing.
And you will be happy.
Heh, that applies to most of my idiot peers but not me!
I see the writing on the wall and I’m fighting back every way I can.
By 2030 my game “Backups” will in playing time surpass my remaining life expectancy lol
I have a very long breath to dive this through.
