Also unlike back in the day, this set of layoffs feel/looks largely opportunistic as a way to kowtow to wall st. The veil is off. Companies are unashamedly open about who they are in bed with. Agree the bubble is inflation induced and the fed is trying to demand more unemployment to cut down spending. Wouldn't an alternative be investing in public infrastructure/housing projects instead? I do feel very frustrated and ignorant at not being able to grasp this entangled web all the while normalizing the blood letting and sacrifice of real human livelihood for the sole enrichment of wall st.
