Who is “no one”? Because yeah, there will be splash damage, but some sectors (“AI” companies and the megacorps involved in the massive ongoing self-dealing circlejerk) will collapse, but others will simply see a correction. And I’ve already dumped anything LLM-related (as well as most US-based securities and ETFs) as of early this year. So I’ll take a hit (everyone will take a hit), but it’s not going to be nearly as bad as it will be for all the bag holders.
Tech companies will ask (and get) an enormous bailout so they don't have to fire everyone, and then they will fire everyone anyway. In order to recoup some of the budget losses, King Trump will implement one or two more taxes
Quiet quitting is our best bet. If they don't give you decent health care and a retirement plan then we're just doing the minimum. Why would we work harder for less in return? Maybe we can just all start our own AI business. Every American can have their very own AI automated business with passive income.

Don't even do the minimum. Will McDonald's give give you half a of a cheeseburger if you only pay half? Will a bank only seize half your house if you start paying half your mortgage payment? Why would we give them half-effort for a penny less than what we're worth?
It's painful and slow but more and more people are learning to live without working. Not an easy life but it's probably going to be necessary at some point if this system is ever going to change.
Quiet quitting is such a bizarre phrase for me as Irish. As long as we do our jobs right, we can do whatever we want. At the end of the day, a job is meant to put food on the table, not be your life. Even some of the worst companies I have worked have a laidback attitude compared to workplaces abroad.

It's just a trendy phrase for what has always been called worke to rule.
Do precisely what your job description requires and not a single bit more.
That money goes somewhere so some people will be getting out better
It doesn't work like this though. If your pension fund is heavy into a company that suddenly loses 90% of its value, your pension suddenly becomes worth a lot less..

The plumbers will. The electricians will. The carpenters will. The bricklayers will. The farmers will. The steel plant workers will. The dockyard workers will.
Yes, if you’ve got savings invested it’ll touch you, but the actual jobs - you know the ones adding and making real, concrete things, probably won’t notice a big different if the AI stocks tank 30% in a day.
