they'll try to get bailed out but you would have to bail out so many companies it's not feasible. you cant just bail out one of these companies. they all propped their stock value up on each other, so unless you bail out every company in the tech sector, there will still be trillions of market cap wiped out.
this is a good thing though. it will mostly only affect those who are overly invested in ultimately unprofitable tech, and the rest of us will be able to buy cheap stock for companies affected like Google and Amazon that will be hit massively but obviously are not just gonna go out of business. it's similar to the covid drop. sucked for rich people but for the average person it wasn't a massive issue and even had money making opportunities attached to it as these big companies scrambled.
