The document discusses how a slowing economy and increasing regulatory threats could make it difficult for tech companies like Google, Facebook, and Amazon in 2019. The biggest tech companies have already made billions of dollars in profits and benefited from major tax cuts, but next year is unlikely to be better financially for them.
