basically what the thread title says by "major" I mean like, not some lovely bespoke dog treat startup company, I mean bigger poo poo like uber speaking of: uber is the company I pick to die but not for the reason you think: they'll actually get a major windfall when the economy collapses and people need to find new work and sign up in droves, which causes cab companies in smaller cities (ie: NOT nyc or whatever) to go out of business, uber briefly holds a near-monopoly on the transportation market in some cities but as so many people turn to companies like uber to try to make the ends meet none of those people will be able to make enough money to even pay for gas as the sheer volume of labor competition causes uber's pricing algorithms to push fare prices lower and lower, their market share will bloat as prices drop so much that it briefly becomes cheaper to hire an uber than to drive your own car, and then the drivers will all quickly abandon their short-lived careers as uber drivers and the company's valuation bottoms out over night like the time the dutch went bonkers for tulips, except with cars that drive you home from the weed store so your idiot baby rear end doesn't even have to wait thirty minutes to get high this isn't limited to start ups I just picked uper because they will probably have a funny death and will probably be the first "major startup" to die at the start of the new tech collapse

Regular Nintendo posted:You are stupid Apple probably won't fail but he's right to call them out as a company that's gonna eat poo poo because they have made themselves into a luxury brand entirely held aloft by conspicuous consumption and their product quality has been dropping over the past few years combine that with the dramatic increase in prices after trump decides "Yeah, 35% tarrifs for everything" and china tells him "lmao eat poo poo you piss moron" and suddenly the next iphone is $5000 with a 4 year contract

triple sulk posted:I think Uber is going to fall apart as soon as they IPO and regular investors realize that they cannot make money. I could also see Tesla falling apart a good bit. walmart will go the way of kmart in trumps america because all the rural comms/small towns that are dominated by walmarts will be barren and abandoned within four years idk if I wanna predict walmart dying before 2020 because kmart technically lingered on like a hideous boils attached to smaller towns for a long time after it became obvious they were going to shutter but if rural america collapses walmart will be severely hurt, maybe reduced to a regional market again (that region being china ofc lmao haha)

with the rising costs of consumer electronics in a post-tariff economy one of the major carrier networks will collapse because of a lack of customer base, no one will be able to afford phones even on a lengthy contract deal, and huge numbers of people will simply stop paying for service when they have to budget themselves extremely tightly it will then get bought out by facebook facebook will sell extremely discounted smartphones to everyone who wants one inside the coverage network they buy, but the only apps the phones will be able to access will be those owned by facebook, the phones will not be equipped with a web browser and none will be offered on the facebook app store SpaceGoku has issued a correction as of 08:22 on Jan 17, 2017 |
