You've been brainwashed if you think the economy is actually bad. Let me guess, you think we would be having a great economy under the orange mussolini?

All metrics agree that we are doing fairly well economically speaking. The tech layoffs have nothing to do with the economy, it's 100% corporate greed and the games they play. They staffed up with cheap loans when interest rates were stupid low and paid themselves insane bonuses and now that interest rates are high again it's time to cut back on expenses.

For the record. The metrics I'm talking about DO NOT INCLUDE the stock market. While tech is seeing major layoffs, the rest of the economy is hiring like crazy. My wife's company for one is planning on doubling her team over the next year and just hired 2 more people, 1 to replace someone moving internally and a new position.
