From an economic standpoint, the nation’s fiscal status has been turned upside down—from a federal budget swimming in surpluses to one deeply in deficit, despite the U.S. not being in recession or officially at war. Since then, the world has become even more dangerous, with the Iran war, Russia’s war on Ukraine, and China’s adventures in the Pacific. The Up & Down Wall Street written directly after the 9/11 attacks predicted a marked increase in spending for national security.

Amazon.com (AMZN) trades at $255, down 10% over the past month and about 10% below its 52-week high. The second quarter of 2026, reported in July, was a strong one: revenue rose 20% year over year to $200.6 billion and operating income rose 43%, though about $1.2 billion of that income came from tariff refunds and an energy-contract accounting gain. That makes the drop worth sizing, because this is a stock with a long habit of falling further than the market.

The ballooning federal debt, massive AI borrowing by Big Tech, and inflation are the reasons that economists and financial experts point to.

Bill Gates, the billionaire co-founder of Microsoft Corp., published a 6,000-word essay on Aug. 26 saying that he would slow the development of artificial intelligence if he could. He elaborated in an interview with the New York Times, saying "in private, people who understand how good this stuff is, and how much better it's getting, they're very worried" but few are raising the issues in public. The public is already convinced the tech industry can't be trusted with its own creations. Some legal news last week explains why. A bipartisan coalition of 51 attorneys general announced a proposed settlement with Meta Platforms Inc. that obligates the social media company that runs Facebook and Instagram to put tight restrictions on how children use its platforms. Gautam Mukunda, Lecturer at the Yale School of Management and Bloomberg Opinion contributor, joins Bloomberg Intelligence to discuss.
