[06:00] IsambardPrince Their debt perhaps. [06:01] IsambardPrince Bondholders get paid whatever's left and then shareholders get worthless stock when a company fails. [06:01] IsambardPrince It's unlikely that Microsoft would completely fail, so when that paper comes due from all of this AI nonsense, they'll have to find money to pay the debt off somewhere, so they'll reach into something profitable to pay off bad debts. [06:02] IsambardPrince Also, they have been hoarding treasuries while the good times rolled. [06:03] IsambardPrince So they're sitting on enough collateral I think that it wouldn't really matter much for bondholders when the bottom falls out of "AI" which will happen. [06:04] IsambardPrince Many of those assets are sitting offshore, and paying the bonds using the collateral would mean repatriating profits and owing tax. [06:04] IsambardPrince Trump is going to try lowering the corporate rate to encourage this. The right thing to do is just tax them whether they repatriate the profits or not. No tax cuts.

[06:24] IsambardPrince Like the Foxconn site, or now apparently this data center. [06:25] IsambardPrince The government is not good at picking winners and losers. Politicians show up for photo ops and then vanish, like Trump and Mike Pence at UTEC/Carrier in Indiana, and then after they got all the Indiana taxpayer money, the jobs went to Mexico anyway. [06:25] IsambardPrince And nothing ever happened and Trump never talked about it again. [06:26] IsambardPrince It's theater. Anything they promise, they'll back out of the minute they feel like it. [06:26] IsambardPrince It would be better if the government got out of subsidizing things. It's a horrific waste of money, it causes inflation, it promotes zombie companies. [06:27] IsambardPrince But they just can't stop doing it. [06:28] IsambardPrince If Trump, Musk, and Ramaswamy wanted to cut the fat, they'd start here. The government subsidized almost a trillion dollars worth of things that ultimately either don't pan out or wouldn't work on their own the minute you pull the plug. [06:28] IsambardPrince It's like Japan circa 1990-1995, only big. Very big.

[06:31] IsambardPrince We're in a terrible jobs market, the media lied about it, still do. [06:31] IsambardPrince But everyone I hear from can't find a good job, and the narrative has been like this for a couple years now.
