The market is weakening because companies are eliminating dead weight and DEI hires who ALL have shitty work ethics and ALL have shitty lazy attitudes.

When they rehire, they won’t be hiring these types of people back.

Every single video that I have seen online about someone losing their job is either a soyboy ANTIFA looking toothpick or a crazy hair, crazy eye white bitch or some fat black woman who feels entitled because she is black

Companies need fewer employees today than they did recently due to technological advances.

We've entered a period of decreasing, not increasing employment.

Companies were REQUIRED/FORCED to hire people that they knew would suck as employees so they are now getting rid of those worthless piece of shite employees.

IS this really the result of AI? Or orchestrated to help facilitate societal chaos and the "reset"?


I think it's much more likely that companies are cutting now that DEI is out, COVID funding is out, & blatant Biden-era abuse of taxpayer dollars are out

The job market has been abysmal this year


We are in incredibly interesting times right now

To the extent that those that have jobs are doing incredibly successful work you also have the downsizing of the federal government and all of the repercussions including the downsizing of other jobs to be more lean after the government was throwing money around like he

So to a certain extent there will be shrinking in the job market but it will also solidify those remaining jobs as being lucrative

Also 100%. Not sure how anyone is defending this job market. Homes still not moving. Everything still super expensive including groceries. But as Powerman said some people will still foolishly look at the stock market as their sole indicator.

Well if you would calculate what actual percentage of each’’s work force you would probably find out it is pretty small.

Barring catastrophe or other painful reset, corporate and factory jobs will become fewer over time and no politician will be able to stop it.

More and more people will become gig workers or self employed, and probably get a small stipend from government.

I searched your entire 10 post history and see no times where you called a Democrat spade a spade.
