Came here to say this. If we can't forecast the economy at the scale of millions of people and trillions of data points you're not going to be able to forecast a company. We should focus on building organisations that are robust enough to withstand challenges that are thrown at them

He should obviously be selling to clinics / hospitals

Plus when did the 'we don't have any budget' excuse stop a SaaS company? That's what you raise VC for - build the product, hand it to the customer for 'free' and charge them what it was really worth based on their usage when you threaten to take it away

In reality Amazon is accumulating cash faster than it can spend it, same as the rest of big tech. If it had things to reinvest it into it wouldn't be such a problem
