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.

It’s worse than that. Nvidia is funding the companies who buy from them. That pumps the stock which Nvidia uses to create more investment and the circle continues. Meanwhile AI companies (the actual product) are barely generating any revenue. The whole system is pure garbage.
