No Signs of Tech Payoff Outside the Tech Sector. Manufacturing, basic science, education, etc languished while Big Tech reaped record profits and achieved stock heights for the last 15 years.

Manufacturing does not benefit from robots and modern machines? Sciene does not benefit from computers?

I don't follow.

It's almost like Big Tech is a net drain on everyone.
