The Casinos Are Closed. The Economy Is Open.

AI is shedding jobs at record pace, starter homes have slipped out of reach for the median renter, and Warren Buffett himself is calling the equity market a casino. The working assumption that this is still a normal economy needs to die.

Desk note: Monexus is treating the Unusual Whales aggregation of public BLS, Challenger, NAR-adjacent and Buffett-on-record material as a single wire-equivalent source for this piece, with the underlying primary documents (Challenger report, Buffett May 2026 remarks, long-duration unemployment series) cited at the URLs above. We have not invented statistics beyond what those aggregations present, and we have flagged the cyclical-versus-structural counter-read on the layoff data rather than collapsing the argument into a single causal claim.
