Totally agree with your take here.

Also, “revenue isn’t important” (sic) is a wild statement to me and indicative of the state of US businesses these days. The stock is the product, that is it, and a shocking number of people have no issue with that while also saying the US needs to bring back manufacturing and build things again.

If investor (and now government with AI projects) money is being funneled into businesses that are ultimately just about their stocks and not producing anything, what will be the result of all that investment? What are we not investing in as a result?
