    Nobody wants it to pay off. They want to be the last one standing which will pay off.

        I hope not but it probably will.

        The last one standing will probably get a bailout by corporate Democrats and every Republican.

          The last one standing will be “too big to fail” because currently the only reason that the global economy is not in a recession is due to AI spending.

            Oh you mean each company promising to spend money on each other without actually doing anything.

              Time for a joke.

              And economist and an accountant were taking a walk when they noticed a frog. The accountant says to the economist, “I’ll give you $100 if you eat that frog.” The economist thinks for a moment, then agrees. A little later they come across another frog, and the economist says, “I’ll give you $100 to eat that frog.” The accountant thinks about it for a second and also agrees. As they continue walking, the accountant says, “So I got to see you eat a frog for $100, and by eating a frog myself, I got my money back, so I understand why I did it. But you had already eaten a frog and had $100, so why did you do it?” The economist replies, “Ah, but this way it’s twice as good for the economy!”
