9. "The spending shut down should be making major news IMO."

And who is going to compile that data and report it?

The feds have been cancelling and/or delaying GDP and jobs and CPI reports, blaming "the shutdown".

And all the business media is reporting on is their sick obsession with "AI" - who has it, who doesn't, which chip company is getting contracts, which isn't, which tech company has reached over a trillion dollars or more of capitalization, and which ones are missing out, as well as which AI software apps are "the next big thing", and which ones are "meh".

They have pretty much ignored everything else that is not "tech-related".

The results of this holiday shopping period will be instructive.
