10. $21 billion? Not sure what that has to do with the stock market either

The stock market is showing that we basically have a K-shaped economy, largely propped up by AI speculation.

I would also be curious to see what percent of the economy is dependent on tourism. I’m not justifying ICE policies at all (you can see my post history), but I’d rather be precise here when we’re discussing the numbers. A lot of the states that are dependent tourism also voted for Trump (Nevada and Florida for example) so my sympathy is limited to be honest.
