They say the economy is bad, but where's all the money going? Which industries are still making money?
Let me keep crypto currency aside and let's talk about our everyday life. No matter how hard the economy might be individuals will always visit the hospitals any time they are sick, so the hospital are also making money. Utilities is not exempted because people will always pay for electricity, water and gasoline. No matter how hard things become it does affect everything in the country, but some finds favors while others don't.
These things you mentioned are a necessity and no matter what humans will always attend to this even if the economy get to worse. But when we talk of industry that is making money for me I think the technology market is what is trending now and so many people will be left behind if they don't dive into the trend and AI advancement is at the center of it all and I don't know about everyone else but I feel time is coming when AI would be all especially in the tech world.
