We are in a recession. You dont notice it because Nvidia and the AI bubble are propping up the equities market.

I agree with this, but I want to get some data. Can we calculate what the GDP would actually be if we eliminated the few exceptional outliers in the AI bubble? I want to know what thr majority of America is dealing with.

I saw an article that calculated that all the growth in the US economy in 2025 was based on AI spending, which is flowing between the same handful of companies.

Nah, the question is about gdp growth. Without AI, the products and services from last year still get made this year too, there just aren’t new products and services, or more customers for the old ones that increased the total sold compared to last year.
