Google, Amazon, Microsoft and a raft of others fired thousands of workers in January, continuing a layoff wave that began in 2022.

The U.S. economy is booming. So why are tech companies laying off workers?::undefined

      I see little policy effort besides what was already done. What proposed policies can you inform me of?

        I don’t really know how to address such a mind-bogglingly stupid comment. You see the policies that exist, but you refuse to believe that any new ones are being proposed?

        I’m gonna bet a billion dollars that you have never actually looked for upcoming policies. And now, because you haven’t seen them (because you haven’t looked), you steadfastly believe they don’t exist, and you demand I show them to you? What in the goddamn hell?

        You take a room with 10 poor people in it. Joe Biden comes in and says to person #1, here’s twenty thousand dollars. Hope that helps. Then he leaves. Then he comes back in and says to person #2, here is twenty thousand dollars. Hope that helps. Then he leaves. Then he comes back in and says to person #3, here is twenty thousand dollars. Hope that helps. Then he leaves. Then you, person #6, get all pissy because clearly he is gone forever and will never give you twenty thousand dollars.

        You’re like an infant.

          I’ve looked. I’ve seen little. But you don’t seem to have looked, since you are so confident they exist but can’t name one. Instead you just call me names and resort to ad hominem attacks.

          You seem to be under the impression I am supporting Trump or something. I despise him and every Republican.

          But that doesn’t mean I’m not pissed when I see prices skyrocket while my pay only goes up 2% a year.
