So the plants which get it the worst are those which are on the edges facing the wind. Sometimes it is good to plant the hedge of coffeeberry or border lawn of deer grass and wildflowers at the windblown edge. 2026-06-26T22:11:28Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqszepsgqlrw5pvsc08k3fwtvpg2kz3v8egxe9u4d288ku56sxt4y3gzypwj4pztjqt2ttyjaqvqzx3dxdrk267jkuk3m44v7rzdug2nxkuc6ll2xaw In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswec37j8gwu6r5jw2x2azg3cckueueyaae8nv6urlhmw9gr3hz0tckuhc6g'>nevent1q…hc6g</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>No, government intervention is a bailout, period.

Whoever has been waiting two years for this to pop hasn&#39;t done their homework.<br/><br/>Some of the key pressures that could pop this bubble are:<br/>- when the debt comes due for the data center build out<br/>- and when the appetite for NVidia&#39;s GPUs declines.<br/><br/>There may be others but these are the two I have been aware of.<br/><br/>Mitigating factors are:<br/>- the rich people funding this shit and how much longer they will do so.<br/>- And a possible government bailout. The shit heels of the AI &#34;industry&#34; have already floated this one, and it is why they like Trump, and it is why they push the spectre of China as a competitor, and it is also why they push SciFi woo woo bullshit about AI dangers.<br/><br/>These pressures are mounting and the mitigating factors are in play. I don&#39;t know when they go critical. 6-12 months from now? But It is something like that. 2026-05-29T14:21:50Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqszrae4ua8hj45acwaupq02crdksl8dhv6rvazlqestwyd9nw856ggzypwj4pztjqt2ttyjaqvqzx3dxdrk267jkuk3m44v7rzdug2nxkuc6r6e4hq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy70c7u9f2na5mjqmzs0mm798cw9ehq90qpc2ghfuqnf56umxcqjsfm93zd'>nevent1q…93zd</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yes, but in 2008 financial institutions were at risk of failure. this bubble does not directly compromise the financial sector. it&#39;s just going to create fallout from these bad investments.<br/><br/>the primary danger this time around is that the AI bubble has been the only form of economic &#34;growth&#34; since Trump entered office and on top of that it is going to pop while we are suffering from the economic fallout of the Iran war.<br/><br/>It is going to be a rough year. 2026-05-29T03:32:53Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqstyq0t37vexh8ctd9y87lwlvww8pzeueec8mar8nlk66tux0xa5rqzypwj4pztjqt2ttyjaqvqzx3dxdrk267jkuk3m44v7rzdug2nxkuc6yx2rtc In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsre20adxlk2a5tyaxnczqakcmdpeapfsm0ap2th38zsh6g3jd6tlskrl4nz'>nevent1q…l4nz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Thankfully these are not financial institutions.
