@SenWarren Congress needs to lay off the avocado toast, 6 dollar iced coffees, and Netflix subscriptions. What a fucking joke the US government is truly pathetic on both sides of the aisle.
@StockJockAT@SenWarren I mean do you think the check and balances are currently working? Not saying I support this but they find a way to skew the numbers one way or the other
@JarretW@its_The_Dr Flock tracks your movement across town, city, and states and triangulates the data. Runs facial and gate(stride) recognition, connects to individuals blue tooth in their vincity and creates and individualized personal profile constantly updated and all stored in a 3rd party DB
Flock cameras now log approximately 20 BILLION vehicle scans every month. That’s not targeted policing of bad guys. That’s mass collection and surveillance - not safety.
STOP THE FLOCK.
@JoshGalt@sairahul1 I think you're overestimating the avg sm-md business not in the tech space.
Most don't know where to start, speaking from xp working with some family that runs a car dealership in the Midwest. They are trying to understand what AI can help with while also protecting their data.
Tech stocks are driving a historically large portion of market earnings:
$AMZN, $GOOGL, $META, and $MSFT contributed ~34% of the S&P 500’s YoY EPS growth in Q1 2026, making them a key driver of profit growth for the index.
At the same time, semiconductor companies accounted for another 31%, while all other companies in the index contributed just 36%.
In other words, those two groups accounted for 65% of the S&P 500’s earnings growth in Q1 2026, up from 52% in Q1 2025.
Looking ahead to the current earnings season, semiconductor companies are estimated to increase their contribution by +17 percentage points in Q2 2026, to a record 48%.
Meanwhile, the contribution from $AMZN, $GOOGL, $META, and $MSFT is expected to fall -25 percentage points, to just ~9%.
Earnings growth leadership is shifting toward the semiconductor sector.
