Amazon and Google and MSFT and Apple were doing that through 2 recessions over 15+ years.

Eventually it'll come to an end.

But not sure why you're so certain the end is now.

I'm not saying it is but everyone has survivorship bias. Kodak and other titans of industry of yesteryear also had their large campuses and projected growth too.

My point is that nobody can predict the future and nothing is guaranteed. Surviving isn't even the norm. We're down to about 50 companies from the original Fortune 500.

Good thing I invested in pumpkins!
This place is gonna smell classy all week.
