    Generally, so-called "tech" companies are the only ones losing "jobs"

    These companies are shrinking and may eventually disappear

    If other non-"tech" companies were shrinking then there might be cause for concern

    But if the so-called "tech industry" dies, then the economy may get a boost

    This so-called "industry" produces very little if anything. Maybe source code. It derives revenue from the advertising budgets of other companies, but it doesn't produce ads. It sells access to human targets under its surveillance

    Aside from a small number of entities that have monopolised this "business model", e.g., by surveilling the greatest number of targets, the rest have paid their employees using "risk-free" debt

    But even zero interest loans have due dates

    As it happened, interest rates eventually returned to non-zero

    That small number of entities has stockpiled enormous sums of cash and has excellent credit

    They will spend the cash and they will borrow more

    And then we move to phase two
