Here's the tea: Something weird AF is happening in the economy right now.
For the first time in 20+ years, corporate America is doing chef's kiss numbers on sales... while simultaneously yeeting people out of jobs.
Usually, when companies are printing money, they're also printing job offers. Not anymore.
The Plot Twist Nobody Saw Coming
Companies are out here setting revenue records AND laying people off. Even weirder? The stock market is absolutely ripping through all of it.
This is like watching someone get promoted and fired on the same day. It shouldn't make sense, but here we are.
The Factory Playbook (Now With AI)
Remember what happened to factory workers? The U.S. makes more stuff than ever, but manufacturing jobs have been falling off a cliff since the '80s.
Robots and automation turned one worker into a production powerhouse. The result?
Corporate profits 📈
Stock prices 📈
Wealth inequality 📈📈📈
Now, AI is about to run the same play on office workers.

CEOs Are Saying The Quiet Part Out Loud
The surveys don't lie:
40% of CEOs plan to replace humans with AI by 2026
72% of business leaders say AI will completely transform their workforce in 3 years
Translation: Companies are betting one AI-powered employee can do the work of 4-5 people.
The "reskilling programs" are popping up everywhere because everyone knows what's coming.
But There's A Problem...
AI is basically a trust fund kid right now—lots of hype, zero returns.
MIT dropped a bomb: 95% of businesses using AI aren't making money from it. And 55% of small business owners straight up regret firing people for AI.
Here's the breakdown:
Small businesses: Dying since 2021, AI isn't saving them
Big Tech (S&P 500): Printing money, but NOT from AI automation
Nvidia, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Google? Their margins look thicc, but it's from ads, cloud services, and pricing power—not AI replacing workers. Actually, AI is costing them billions with nothing to show for it yet.
What This Means For Your Portfolio
The AI trade right now is pure momentum and vibes. The tech can't deliver what the stock prices are promising.
Short term: This could get ugly when the bubble pops
Long term: AI will actually change everything (just like robots did to factories)
The TL;DR
We're watching the factory automation playbook run on white-collar jobs... except the automation isn't really working yet.
For now, it's all narrative. All speculation. All hype.
The play: Ride the wave while it's pumping, but keep your finger on the sell button. When this thing reverses, it's gonna move fast.
Same as it ever was: automation always wins eventually. We're just early to the party, and the punch bowl might be spiked with Kool-Aid.
Not financial advice. Just watching the robots slowly come for everyone's jobs while pretending they're already here.
