A new ADP Research Institute report shows employment for software developers has declined from January 2018. Data elsewhere show fewer opportunities for people to fill software development and tech roles after the US labor market is no longer as hot as it was a few years ago.

"The tech job market has undeniably slowed since the end of 2022, cooling after a few years of rapid hiring during the pandemic recovery," Daniel Zhao, Glassdoor's lead economist, said in a written statement. "Rising interest rates, the end of pandemic-era trends and a slowing economy overall has crimped demand for tech workers."

No, its the asshole CEOs very specifically who will survive the climate catastrophe and any other societal systemic failures. They've insulated themselves from consequences by hoarding material wealth, and when they can't do that, fiat wealth to represent material wealth. In 2008, we even bailed them out "oh that last thing you tried didn't work? Here. Here's a bunch of money we took from society as a whole. Enjoy your golden parachutes. You'll need them later"

As a populace we need to start showing up in the streets and obstructing these fuckers wealth streams however we can

Also that wasn't me trying to be a dick. I realized I might have come across as a dick there. I just meant to be supporting your idea
