2. Many Americans still think the stock market is "the economy"

and Bondi reinforced this myth by touting the Dow is over 50,000 (below now). Firstly it is not the economy and I very much agree that it is being held high by tech stocks, primarily AI. Even with the AI holding it up the US stock market is not performing better than other countries, in fact right now it's in about 8th place of other country's stock markets. The US increased approx 12-13%, whereas many others increased by far more. Canada outperformed them all and increased 27% and the difference is most of our stock market is made up of companies such as mining, oil and gas, finance etc, not an AI bubble.
