Axios - The nation is splitting into three distinct economic realities: the Have-Nots (stalling) ... the Haves (coasting) ... and the Have-Lots (rocketing to greater wealth)...
- This isn't just about "inequality." It's about a structural shift where the growing number of hyperwealthy are profiting wildly off the AI revolution — through exclusive access to private deals, massive investment power, governmental connections, and equity stakes "normal" investors can't touch.
This shift, if it holds, will rattle economics, politics and AI throughout 2026 and beyond. We're already seeing it in rising inequality, pessimism about the future and AI opposition.
- It's human nature to judge your personal economics and mood on how you feel, influenced heavily by conscious and subconscious comparisons to others. So it's possible President Trump is right: U.S. growth and stocks soar in 2026. But even then, because the AI-connected hyperwealthy do so much better than everyone else, f.ear and resentment still grow.
- It's also possible the AI bubble pops, and everyone suffers. But the Have-Lots will (mostly) still have lots.
