What was said

"So you have this economy that's so heavily tilted towards AI, data center and capex. Meanwhile, housing has been like absolutely destroyed, right?"

Aiden Gerb argues recent US growth and job creation are unusually concentrated in AI-related capital spending, including data-centre construction. He says rate-sensitive sectors such as housing have weakened sharply as mortgage rates rose.
