But counterintuitively this idiotic war of choice soil crisis is going to boost SaaS valuations because it’s an industry with no moving atoms in its supply chains or go to market, and the huge recession it will cause will reinstate ZIRP.

That is being upended now. The worst part is the senior leadership team know if they get fired they wont find another job ever.

Date: March 15th, 2026 10:53 PM Author: razzle-dazzle useless mexican black woman The last couple of years has been the worst time to be in big tech. A tech worker at, say, Walmart or Marathon Oil or Delta Airlines, is doing much better one at FAANG. Because Walmart or Marathon Oil aren't investing in creating AI data centers. FAANG is laying off tons of staff to spend that money on AI data centers.
