I'm not an economist, but the SV economy (which has become a nontrivial chunk of the US economy) just doesn't seem like it can keep doing this forever.

That's not how you create jobs. That's not how you grow an economy. That's how a few people get very rich very quickly. "Move fast and break things", as it were.
