100% correct, but the Americans will eat the shit bailout (corporate socialism) sandwich...again.

Spoiler alert: they will literally take food from the hands of a starving child and give it to Altman, Zuckerberg and Musk.

They already did it. They will do it again.

It's true, but is there anything better to invest in within the U.S. right now? The U.S. doesn't really make anything and even this AI stuff is based on chips manufactured outside of the U.S..

Yeah, that's why this bubble popping scares me so much. AI industry spending is propping up the US economy to a degree that is really frightening.

Defensive stocks like energy, utilities and pharmaceuticals. But I would hold for the moment. Even JP Morgan CEO told people to divest from US.

Not a financial advice but something to consider is investing in gold and silver and companies outside of US. Japan, China and Europe are increasingly seen as safer investments (but China at the moment is having an economic downturn). If you want some growth and security to protect your cash if there is a down turn, you could buy bonds.

Actually the U.S. makes a lot of stuff. Amongst other things the U.S. accounts for somewhere around 40% of the global food & beverage market.
