This is common sense but I don't see the relevance. Are you saying it's a good thing that people are losing their jobs, many who have worked places for years and built up time off, built up reputation, raises, promotions? I... I... think this a very stupid point OB. Whatever point you are trying to make actually because I don't understand.
I'm saying that it's a normal thing, even in the healthiest of economies, for corporations to take chances, and then when things don't work out to have lay-offs and redirect their money elsewhere. It's part of a system called "capitalism". The only way to avoid it is to take government control of the companies and forbid layoffs. I don't think you support such a system.
I'm just going to make this my bash your idiot president thread so I don't clutter the place with your administrations sheer incompetence.
I manage a very prominent hardware store and this is just insulting. 16 cents? Price of lumber is up 300%. A roll of 12/2 Romex used to be $65 and is now $113, probably more when I do price changes today as it's went up every few days. Copper is up over $1 per foot. Our .99(has been .99 for the 6 years I've worked here)hand soap is now $1.25. PVC has went up .10-.50 a foot, I've had to reprice my entire galvanized and gas pipe fittings TWICE (1000+ items). Truth be told I would say approximately 70% of my entire store has inflated. I am not lying about that either. Ohh I forget water heaters are up over $100 a piece. There just so much.
The most insulting part about this is they used only 12 items, selected items, to make a point. 12 items lol. Things like soda, alcohol, steak, ribs, condiments, and the hundreds of thousands of items we will use were magically left of.. 12 items. Ffs gas alone is highest it's been since Obama at more tham $1 more per gallon so with a 20 gallon tank... you know what? You do the math.
I'll use left leaning politico just to prove I'm not making things up. Inflation is the highest it's been in a long time.

Soaring prices draw both shrugs and screaming in Washington
A continued inflation spike could make it a lot harder for the president to push through trillions of dollars in additional federal spending.www.google.com
Lol no it's not. Show me where 170,000(edited from 200,000) people got laid off in 3 months in tech. Back your claim up. You can't just lie and then it magically be truth. If this is normal, show me.
First actual post I agree with you. You can do what I did and work your *** to the off for 15 years and be your own boss and to be able to sit here all day and talk on Jazzfanz all while making stellar money. Beats mooching off of your wife and having 26,000+ post hating everything (that doesn't include the other 97,000 with your other obnoxious alt) hypocritically talking down to others. But you're right if you aren't happy with your job you can always go to school or I would suggest getting into a trade as those are always in need. That is the beauty of Capitalism. Sadly, Democrats are trying to destroy this as they are so economically void they need people like me to pay for their schooling loans that they signed up for and also need me to pay their healthcare because they mooch off their wives instead of be responsible. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of thousands without my job security, or not blessed to marry into money and have a wife that feeds the family(nothing wrong with that I just say do your part instead of Jazzfanz(at least run a vacuum or something though)).

There are more people working in tech than ever before, of course the numbers are going to climb. These 25 companies alone laid off over 75000 employees in 2018.

So? Is there a surplus of tech workers, or are they finding jobs? Looks like the latter to me. The employment level is unchanged.
You really don't understand how being laid off is a bad thing. How ignorant. The fact that these people are gettting jobs elsewhere has nothing to do with anything. AT ALL.There are more people working in tech than ever before, of course the numbers are going to climb. These 25 companies alone laid off over 75000 employees in 2018.
Show me where in these numbers you see abnormally large lay-offs:

The tech industry has undergone a punishing series of layoffs, a consequence of strong economic headwinds and overhiring during the pandemic.
So? Is there a surplus of tech workers, or are they finding jobs? Looks like the latter to me. The employment level is unchanged.

I've been laid off several times, and know it's a bad thing. What's yours solution to the problem?
It shows the economy is healthy.
There's no reason to think it should be true. The more people are employed in teck, the more layoffs occur. 5 years from now, 175,000 won't be close to a record.
Among just 25 companies out of hundreds of companies.
Which of the layoffs I linked to indicates a bad economy?

Nah you can't answer a basic question. I'm not playing your stupid game that you constantly play . Back on ignore for a little bit as you can't even have an honest discussion. You're a smart dude you just can't be honest and stay on topic. You are very good at muddying the original point up to get it off topic. Instead of actually addressing the simple question. It's a terrible way to conversate and I keep thinking you won't do it, but you do everytime.I've been laid off several times, and know it's a bad thing. What's yours solution to the problem?

Tech layoffs in 2022: A timeline
As inflation, supply-chain problems, and geopolitical turmoil curb revenue growth for tech companies, they have resorted to reducing headcount—some with massive layoffs—to bolster their balance sheets. Here's an updated timeline of the more notable layoffs.
I answered the question by agreeing with you, while at the same time exposing the question as misleading.
1862EA? If you mean in here, then we both know you're playing games with factoids.
That's a healthy number of open jobs.

Are you confused about the difference between "take away" and "never have"?

Schumer tweeted that no one is taking away the gas stoves. That was true. You said, "Chuck Schumer doesn't even know anything about his own state", indicatiing that he didn't understand what was happening. This was false.
No one indicated there was not a ban on new stoves, certainly not Schumer.
It's like when the league cracks down on flopping and fines... Reggie Evans.
The only question is if this indictment is going to be enough to push him ahead of Trump for the Republican Presidential Nomination?
