Resilient growth as technology and adaptability offset trade policy headwinds

The competitive reality confronting most global economies right now demands a 3% GDP growth rate or more based on the global average.

But instead we have uninspired so-called captains of American industries who can’t find anything better than payroll deductions to boost the bottom line. Could have hired a small-town middle manager for that level of insight. Dumb people getting lucky is the worst curse for humanity.

These people need a major reality check, https://fortune.com/2026/01/22/how-big-national-debt-when-re...

FAANG companies got to the state that they did, and thus attained national importance, because every asshole in the world bought their thing, on a big or small scale.

The other issue is that major economic uncertainties are keeping companies from spending and creating jobs even though there is work to be done. You’re not going to get the world to play along by being scary. The AI-doom rhetoric isn’t cute, and needs to be toned down if we’re actually going to get anything useful and productive out of these tools. Again, major reality check: we don’t even have proper self-driving cars.
