Is it just me or does it feel like billionaires of that ilk can never go broke no matter how bad their decisions are? The complete shift to the metaverse, the complete shift to LLMs and fat AI glasses, the bullheaded “let’s suck all talents out of the atmosphere” phase and now let’s freeze all hiring. In a handful of years.

And yet, billionaires will remain billionaires. As if there are no consequences for these guys.

Meanwhile I feel another bubble burst coming that will hang everyone else high and dry.

the top100 richest people on the globe can do a lot more stupid stuff and still walk away to a comfortable retirement, whereas the bottom 10-20-.. percent doesn't have this luxury.

not to mention that these rich guys are playing with the money of even richer companies with waaay too much "free cash flow"
