There is also another side to this: a lot of these “tech companies” are not really built to provide meaningful products and services, instead their aim is for speculative valuation in the stock market.
There is also the use of tech in bussiness that is inherently unproductive economically. Like all the shops on Amazon, they are mostly selling the very same thing out of Amazon’s warehouse bins. These “online business entrepreneurs” aren’t actually adding anything new to the market.
Then there is also tech companies “cannibalising” on existing markets. For every tech companies rapidly rising, there are tens to hundreds of brick and mortar businesses going under. Added together the total sum of resultant economic growth will of course be very much smaller than expected.

Authorities shot and killed the alligator to stop it from doing more damage to the remains.
After the animal was killed, a diver went in the water to recover the remains from the dead alligator, officials said.
Their investigation will also determine if the alligator killed her or if the animal was scouring her remains after she was already dead.
Eight months ago a similar incident happened in Largo, Florida.
Officials there shot and killed a 13ft (4m) alligator after they found it walking along a street with a torso in its mouth.
The remains were later identified as that of 41-year-old Sabrina Peckham.A few months before that a 10ft alligator killed an 85-year-old woman in Fort Pierce, Florida as she was walking her dog.

I’m tired of people saying they can’t read the Constitution and decide on what it says about whether or not Trump can run. The Constitution also says a candidate must be age 35 to be President. If Trump was 24 years old instead of 77, would we be having this conversation? Why couldn’t these State officials look at the facts like his actions and age and make the call now? These people need to carry out their duties according to the Constitution and declare now that Trump is not qualified and cannot appear on the ballot. You don’t need to be a lawyer, a legal scholar, or a SCOTUS justice to figure this one out! There is more than a simple preponderance of evidence to disqualify him. A conviction beyond a reasonable doubt is NOT required. With a population of over 300 million people, surely you can find a candidate to support who doesn’t have Trump’s insurrection baggage. Or rape baggage. Or fascism baggage. Or Putin baggage. Et cetera. Et cetera. Et cetera. Only qualified candidates need apply.
