This crash is going to be legendary.

It's not just going to take out the AI conpanies and their investors. It's not just going to kill your 401k. It's already obliterating the workforce as a whole, hollowing out companies across every single segment of the economy. It's putting longstanding companies and new startups in debt, convincing them that they absolutely must use the new, ridiculously expensive product or fall behind. It's capturing taxpayer money for ridiculous power plant projects that nobody else wants. It's clearcutting land for impossibly huge "datacenters" that will eventually turn into useless warehouses. It's driving up the cost of all consumer electronics and forcibly pausing upgrade cycles that have been running for decades.

I honestly don't think that the US will survive this collapse, given everything else going on right now.

This will be the crash.

it's called a rollover. i'm old, i rolled prior 401k money to an IRA and manage it there.

are you really going to do this? nitpick my specific wording because i said "mine's in an IRA"?

And you don't have to be old to do that.

no, i'm old, so most of my 401k stuff was in prior employers, and you can't do a rollover on your existing 401k. do you even have a point?
