    When the CEOs of these companies are saying that we will risk extinction and jobs will be decimated, why do you even need a "foreign agent"?

      We saw during Covid that many jobs are not needed. And we may be heading to energy lockdowns. Companies could lose a lot of valuation or just use the "AI is doing everything" excuse.

        Energy lockdowns are already here in other countries like Pakistan. They're conserving oil for important uses only.

          The good thing about energy lockdowns is that you get to join all your friends and cook a communal lunch in a big pot.
