The Tech Crash, The Demographic Time Bom...

DAVID MCWILLIAMS & JOHN DAVIS
About this episode

A tech bubble always feels rational until it doesn’t, as Wall Street fuses with Silicon Valley and the entire American economy becomes a single hyper-leveraged bet on AI, we trace the early tremors: falling job numbers, concentration of risk, a market propped up by story over profit. The real shock comes at home, Ireland’s new Future 40 report quietly maps out a country sleepwalking into decades of slower growth, soaring age-related costs, and a housing crunch that will outlive an entire generation. The proposed solution currently is to import more workers into a market that can’t house the people already here. We break down the numbers, the politics, and the intergenerational showdown now shaping Ireland’s future, a collision of tech mania, demographic reality, and a state betting tomorrow on the backs of the young.
