Claim 1: “Ray Dalio warns U.S. markets resemble 1929 and 2000 bubbles”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The provided evidence for this claim is irrelevant. The web search results discuss Ray Charles (the musician) and the film 'Ray', and the Wikipedia results discuss California taxes and general AI bubbles, but none mention Ray Dalio making these specific warnings about 1929 and 2000 bubbles.
