AI Saved Us From Trump's Tariffs? Yeah, Right.
So, the geniuses in Singapore are telling us AI spending is saving the global economy from Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs? Give me a break. I'm supposed to swallow the idea that a few tech giants blowing billions on AI washes away the economic damage of protectionist trade wars?
Color me skeptical. Actually, paint me blood red with rage.
This whole thing stinks of Silicon Valley propaganda, spun by people who benefit directly from the AI hype train. Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft—they're "saving" us by throwing money at data centers and chips? That's like saying Jeff Bezos is saving the planet by occasionally funding a tree-planting initiative while simultaneously launching rockets into space.
AI Savior? More Like AI Bullshit.
The "AI Savior" Narrative is Bullshit
Here's the deal. Yeah, maybe Taiwan's GDP is up because they're churning out AI chips like there's no tomorrow. And sure, South Korea is raking it in on memory chips. But what about everyone else? What about the small businesses getting crushed by tariffs? What about the consumers paying higher prices? Are they feeling "saved" by AI? I doubt it.
This is classic tech-bro logic: "We're creating the future, so don't worry about the present." It's the same garbage they peddled with crypto and the metaverse. Promise the moon while picking our pockets.
And this line that the tariff pain has been “deferred”? Oh, it's not gone, just waiting to sucker punch us later. Great. Thanks for the heads up, economists.
AI Savior or Just Another Band-Aid on a Bullet Wound?
The Government's "Safety Net" is a Joke
Oh, and don't even get me started on the "government backstop." Trump's tax cuts, Germany's spending spree, Japan's stimulus—it's all just more debt piled on top of more debt. They expect us to believe this nonsense, and honestly... it's insulting.
It's like treating a gunshot wound with a band-aid and a pat on the back. Sure, it might stop the bleeding for a minute, but the underlying problem is still there. And what happens when the band-aid falls off?
Speaking of which, Oxford's "word of the year" is "rage bait"? Well, offcourse it is. Seems appropriate.
Wait, I'm getting distracted. Back to AI...
This whole "AI is saving us" narrative is a convenient distraction from the real issues: wealth inequality, corporate greed, and the fact that our so-called leaders are more interested in playing political games than actually solving problems.
And what happens when the AI boom fizzles? What happens when the robots take all our jobs? Are we all supposed to just sit around and starve while the tech billionaires sip champagne on their private islands?
Hassett to the Fed: Just Another Trump Crony?
Hassett for Fed Chair? Are You Kidding Me?
And in other news, Trump's picking a new Fed chair? Apparently, it's Kevin Hassett, another one of his cronies. Because what the economy really needs is more political interference in monetary policy. Hassett says the markets are responding positively to the news, with interest rates dropping. Of course they are. Short-term gains for long-term pain. That's the Trump way.
Trump Says He’s Picked the Next Fed Chair
But wait a second... am I being too cynical? Am I just a grumpy old man yelling at clouds? Maybe. Then again, maybe I'm the only one who sees through this whole charade.
So, What's the Real Story?
It ain't AI saving the world; it's AI distracting us while the world burns. These "economists" and their "upward revisions" can shove it.
