    Just a little coordinated unemployment that bumps up bottom lines, nothing to see here. IF someone will just give them a tax break or two, I’m sure they’ll sort out hiring a few more pawns. It’s not like they’re going to try to run us into a recession or anything. It’ll be another post Covid fiasco when they go to rehire post election, I CAN’T FIND TALENTED WORKERS NOW, WHY DOESN’T ANYONE WANT TO WORK

    They did this all last year too. How does that make 2024 the year of cost cutting? Is anyone actually paying attention anymore?

    Imagine the goal being well-being, art, and science, not imaginary numbers in a post-scarcity society.

    Can we please flip this back around sometime

    Lower interest rates would give me a lot of job security, since that’s what’s driving all the tech layoffs. Like it doesn’t need to go back to 2% but maybe 4% would be a good start.
