The GOP doesn't realize they are nowhere near the authoritarian control threshold for this to NOT look ridiculous to the average person. People are starving and can't afford healthcare and the elites are giving the "leadership" participation trophies.

In all seriousness, last night might have been the first time this term Trump's handlers weren't able to feed him a false narrative and he is truly seeing his unpopularity. After this shellacing, be prepared for Trump et al to accelerate their authoritarian plans.

Now we see why OpenAI is trying to quickly reach the "too big to fail" status. When this bubble bursts, there are going to be A LOT of unhappy investors wanting a hand-out from the government to recoup their massive losses.
A recent M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return.

Learned something new: "Breadth" is the number of stocks ending positive vs negative. More many more stocks ended negative than ended positive yet the market as a whole ended positive. This means a minority of stocks (tech and AI) are propping up the positive growth seen in the market.
Tuesday was the S&P's worst breadth day ever for an "up" day.
“Since 1990, the S&P has never had weaker breadth on a day that it closed positive.”
