I can't help but think the timing is awful. Between all the shit Trump's been doing to the economy, job losses to AI, and the fact investors in AI are starting to demand return on their investments, next year's economy is shaping up to be incredibly bad. They say the main thing keeping it going even now has been the investment in AI, but that plane is running out of runway to take off.

Lol, I do live in the hellhole that is the US, and uh, I have been living lean and building savings, dramatically lowered my cost of living, pre-emptively,because it is hellhole-ifying.
We will still have to wait for the actual price of course, but I've now got my own personal foodbank of months worth of staple goods I can survive off of.
Gotta play the video gaming meta game, to be able to keep video gaming, rofl.
You can look a year or whatever back into my comment history where I say 'this is gonna be the 2nd Great Depression' when Trump's econ 'plan' crystalized, before the election.
I was not joking, and I acted accordingly.
