Nothing. Dont worry about it.

Obamas economy was extremely stagnant. He had 8 years and it didn't do really anything. It wasn't terrible by any means but it wasn't great by any means outside of his typical Democrat recession which you will blame on anyone but Democrats. Clinton was good. Bush was stagnant. Trump was roaring until covid. Bidens is an absolute disaster, but people look at one little accomplishment such as jobs and are programmed to think that's some great accomplishment. It's not bad... But when people are getting laid off by the hundreds of thousands it's embarrassing to brag about.I don’t see how it’s controversial at all to say the economy does better under democratic leadership. It’s been that way for literally my entire life. We’ve seen it since George HW Bush. It’s just stating facts. Why does that bother some people so much? There’s a reason why Bush called supply side economics, “voodoo economics.” Why has that been memory holed?
At some level, you do understand that these laid-off people are getting other jobs (if they want to), right?but people look at one little accomplishment such as jobs and are programmed to think that's some great accomplishment. It's not bad... But when people are getting laid off by the hundreds of thousands
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.At some level, you do understand that these laid-off people are getting other jobs (if they want to), right?
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.This is common sense but I don't see the relevance.

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.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.

Also, I don't think your considering that most people are finding better jobs after they are laid off. I always did.
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)).Perhaps those too lazy to look for jobs outside of sports equipment sales stores should take a look at themselves in the mirror instead of projecting their misery onto the economy in general? In Utah, you can easily find good jobs. You might have to go back to school or get some training. You might have to limit your posting on jazzfanz to only a few hrs a day. But people are finding new and better jobs all the time.
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.Lol no it's not.

So? Is there a surplus of tech workers, or are they finding jobs? Looks like the latter to me. The employment level is unchanged.Not even that many people were laid off in the industry in the previous 2 years combined.
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.techmonitor.ai
