    Zitron has been talking about this for some months now. The numbers fluctuate, I think $6T is the highest I've seen but low-end is about $1T that doesn't exist today.

    His latest newsletter (from today) also talks about this: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wheresyoured.at&#x2F;dead-money&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wheresyoured.at&#x2F;dead-money&#x2F;

      I wish people would realize that Zitron is nothing but a grifter who saw an avenue for content and went all in.

      I don’t even disagree with some or even a lot of his takes, it’s just he is singularly a content generator with a track to run on. Look at his previous work, it’s much of the same kind of attempts at being relevant. To me he’s nothing more than a drive time radio host, shouting about something just to fill the air
