It doesn't. Lot's of tech companies over-hired, over-invested both in 1999 and 2021. Can companies be conservative? Yes, but people were also predicting a tech crash in 2010, 2011, 2012....

I like HN continues to cheer these authoritarian government mandates when there is no proof of any harm to the consumers. You know why Europe can't produce a Google or an Apple or a TikTok or Intel or AMD or NVidia despite having a Bil
