The debt taken out to fund the data center boom has already been repackaged to financial SPV’s and sold to 401k retirement funds as bonds.
If the power, water, and usage to these plants fails to materialise, which physics says it will, those bonds will lose value.
The tech bros already outsourced their losses to US retiree’s pensions.

#Trump signed an #executiveorder directing the U.S. Secretary of Labour to review #fiduciaryguidance on private market investments in #401ks. This order marks a victory for the #alternativeasset industry, which has pushed for greater adoption of #privateassets in defined contribution plans. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/07/trump-order-will-allow-alternative-assets-like-cryptocurrencies-private-equity-in-401ks.html?eicker.news #tech #media #news

1. Give your friends notice that you are announcing massive #tariffs. Let them sell.
2. Announce tariffs. Stock markets plunge.
3. Give your friends notice that you are going to pause tariffs. Let them buy.
4. Announce a pause.
5. Profit both ways!Yet another way for the #oligarchs to steal from the middle class who keeps a lot of their retirement money in #401ks.
If you are rich, they let you do anything!

Once, workers had "#DefinedBenefitsPensions," where employers promised to pay a certain amount every year from retirement to death. #JimmyCarter swapped that out for #401Ks, "market" pensions where you have to guess which stocks will be valuable or starve in your old age:

Here is a personal belief of mine to explain why the #stockmarket is crashing even though it doesn't feel like it and, outside of tech bubble places, no one is losing their jobs. In fact, basically every non-tech bubble company is hiring right now.
The #babyboomers are retiring. Millions and millions and millions of people have been saving in investments, #IRAs and #401Ks (& equivalents) for decades. Now they are all trying to sell their investments for #retirement cash.
