Many interviewed employees admitted that they were looking for work at other companies that weren't trying to force employees back to the office. Many other companies are struggling to restore in-person work.

Electric vehicles are still too expensive to be accessible to millions of Americans. High prices, high interest rates, and concerns over driving range and charging infrastructure have chilled buyers' enthusiasm, even among those who consider themselves green. The US government has set policies that hit Chinese manufacturers of cars, batteries, and other components with punitive taxes.

There are clear differences between AI and the dot com bubble, so the comparison doesn't exactly hold.
