The 2008 financial crisis was the largest upwards transfer of wealth in US history. There are people who still haven't financially recovered what they lost to this day, but the US economy had regained more than it lost within 2 years. It's just that 90% of it went to those who lost the least.
With AI being forced into general stocks and federal bailouts practically guaranteed, it's going to be the exact same scenario. The AI companies will be "too big to fail" and we'll all be footing the bill.
Theres a ceiling to this shit though, and we are reaching it. Your population won't carry on when they can't eat, and it doesnt matter how militarized you are the US is too big to protect everything by force. You have to keep your population chill.
