🤯BREAKING: Researchers just mathematically proved that AI layoffs will collapse the economy: and every CEO already knows it.
The AI Layoff Trap. A game theory paper from UPenn + Boston University is glaringly important!
100K+ tech layoffs in 2025. 80% of US workers exposed. And no market force can stop it.
→ Every company fires workers to cut costs
→ Every fired worker stops buying products
→ Revenue collapses across every sector
→ The companies that fired everyone go bankrupt
It's a Prisoner's Dilemma with math behind it. Automate and you survive short-term. Don't automate and your competitor kills you. But everyone automating destroys the demand that makes all companies viable.
UBI (universal basic income) won't fix it.
Profit taxes won't fix it.
The researchers found only one solution: a Pigouvian automation tax "robot tax"
The AI trap on the economy is here!

@bluewolfpack1@saylor MicroStrategy does own the bitcoin, and cannot be liquidated in the typical crypto sense.
They can face financial stress if BTC collapses, but there is no automatic “liquidation price” at which their BTC is sold by a lender. Just stating fact.
