Have you heard of the dot com bubble, for example? There are plenty of those companies around still, and yet, the bubble popped. To be clear, I'm not claiming this bubble would be identical. All I'm saying is that not all companies would have to go under for it to pop. It's really the (wealthy) shareholders that get to decide when to pull the money, and that's what would cause a bubble to pop, not pure revenue. Shareholders want a return on investment, which is something that hasn't really happened yet (other than the circlejerk between big companies, I suppose). permalink fedilink source parent [–] grue@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago They will pay for it with the money we give them they extract from us by force. permalink fedilink source parent
