You are talking about ignoring predictions. I am talking about measured effects. There are lots of people commenting here about massive disruption they believe has occurred, and although things have certainly been disrupted so far it hasn’t been measurable at an macroeconomic level, at least to the degree people here are claiming. It appears any effect is within the noise, although certainly on the scale of a certain industry it might have had impacts (eg on hiring new college grads for software engineering positions).

The supposed massive GDP growth and jobs losses just aren’t there at this time, whatever the future may bring.
