Because FAANG is the entire economy? Please.

Step out of the SV bubble and you’ll see the economy is fine. The fact big tech was dumb and overextended themselves during and shortly after COVID while relying on ZIRP to fund those expenditures doesn’t mean everyone else did.

    the group we’re in

    Thank you.
    
    But… Why do you assume I have instant knowledge of acronyms because I opted to insert a comment on a topic that teased my interest? Does it pressuposes anything about my person?
