Very interesting thread. Agree with you all except @log on when you say "sleepy" then it really puts your argument into that particular category that I do not want to mention here (you know the clown group I am talking about). No one knows the counterfactual scenario as to what could have been done to get over this situation--a year and a half after the global pandemic that took millions of lives and put thousands of small businesses off. Can you imagine how many people had to be let go during the pandemic? What about their consumerism and contribution to the economy? How do you explain that? We have to at least thank to this situation no recession as was predicted by many economists. I don't buy Musk, he is just an engineer who does not know ABC of how the economy works.
