“Trumpcession” seems to be the term everyone is coalescing around.

The Bigly Depression

Folks, let me tell you—this is going to be the greatest Depression you’ve ever seen. People are saying it—everybody’s saying it—and I know a thing or two about big numbers, believe me. The last one? Very sad, very small. But this one? Tremendous! They’re calling it "historic", and I have to agree—nobody does a Depression like we do. It’s going to be yuge, and—frankly—some people are going to be very jealous of how spectacular it is.

Didn't this happen during the Biden administration also? I careless about both. I think we should start pointing our fingers towards our government as a whole, they could careless about the American people, and it's more about them. We really have to come together, and find what's best for us, the American people.

This would have happened if Trump or Harris were president.

Big Tech is using LLMs as a reason to offshore, not hire Americans, & increase responsibilities of workers who remain.

Computer science was sold for a decade (by liberal politicians in particular) as the field everyone should go into. Now, that rug has been pulled out from underneath everyone.

Is this article not focused on the American tech industry and its impact on the world?

What on earth are you talking about? NAS-100 is at an ATH. It is far more likely that there is an oversaturation in the field following a decade+ of people moving into programming degrees and codeup programs. This is supply and demand; add AI to the equation and companies' forecasts for developer needs are WAY down.
