What?? tech is still hemorrhaging jobs. This is the biggest downturn since the dot com bust. You are fkn retarded.

CEO Marc Benioff acknowledged responsibility, stating, “As our revenue accelerated through the pandemic, we hired too many people leading into this economic downturn we’re now facing.” Benioff also noted reduced productivity among remote workers, emphasizing that newer hires, in particular, exhibited lower efficiency.
This is an example of the malinvestments I was referring to earlier. Now they are liquidating by laying off.

Unemployment is going to shoot up and this will trigger the recession

There shouldn't be any more layoffs after that. Stocks have recovered, no more rate increase and 2024 looks like a strong year for growth.

And the economy was recovered? When Biden took office unemployment was 6.7% and 2020 GDP was -2.7%. Is that some bigly great economy in cultist world? How about the $800B covid bill Trump signed in december '20? No impact on inflation either eh?

It's quite fun demolitioning you brain dead cultist.

Maybe stick to your stupid child's chart clearly pointing out that inflation started way way before anything biden signed had an opportunity to impact US inflation. You still look stupid but at least your words aren't there to back that up.

And yes, supply chains were destroyed in 2000, you arguing that point too boyo?

Uh friend, when exactly is this going to happen? Sure some tech firms are laying off but many others are hiring and other industries can't come close to finding workers. There's not a single hint that unemployment will do anything but continue at record lows under Joe. GDP just grew 5%. The economy is super strong despite the average american being a dumb sheep who thinks higher prices are unfair but they deserved the bigly raises they've been getting. Wage inflation has far outstripped price inflation these last few months.

If Joe loses it will be because the dems can't message for chit and he's a demented old coot. Any president would love to take over this economy.

Unemployment only went up modestly. More importantly, the QUALITY of jobs is improving because of Biden's policies. First time since the 90's srs.

Why would a stimulus cause inflation during a market downturn? Retard Biden pumped money into an economy that was almost completely recovered. Pure stupidity

Oof. Your subjective and illogical opinion of "quality" is truly mind blowing.

So let me see if I have this right; government creates better quality jobs than the economy, and increases in wages through coercion and in response to inflation is "high quality"?

I don't think I have ever heard a credible economist referred to these circumstances as "high-quality". I can imagine a politician referring to them as "high-quality".

In other words, you are not using economics to make these observations, you are using politics.

It's not inflation that is causing wage growth. Right now wages are far outpacing inflation. Inflation is only 3% YoY and dropping fast. Wage growth is not only increasing but accelerating. Finally most reputable economists view the economy as strong, and I think they are underestimating how strong it is.

Who, economists like Paul Krugman? Lmao! Progressive economists get it wrong more than any one else. Socialism and fascism just happen to be lucrative, and it's very attractive to narcissists.

So you think that the government should send out stimulus checks when the market goes down?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

And I quoted you the shape of the economy when Biden took office. Massive unemployment, bigly negative GDP, massive increase to the debt. What about that says "recovered" economy to you boyo?

I almost feel bad making you look so very dumb.

Hey guys, Biden doubled inflation between January and March 2021 just by taking office.

It's an economic miracle!

No, he quadrupled inflation from March to January. Inflation was in normal range until the American Rescue Plan

Please explain how inflation doubled from January to March 2021. And holy crap it doubled again from March to June 2021. Did the biden administration just throw dollars around like they were in a strip club?

Biden's secret inflation causing wand?

I can't believe I'm conversing with someone who thinks US inflation metrics can be impacted by any action within a few months.

Let me destroy you with more facts.

"M2 (money supply) took off in March 2020 as the Fed slashed rates and started buying trillions of dollars in bonds to help support the economy as the coronavirus pandemic started, ultimately mushrooming by $6.3 trillion - a 40% increase - from its level right before the start of the crisis."

https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/u...ly-2023-01-26/

Get some education friend, you're looking really really stupid.

And damn that Obama for causing the Great Recession!

And this is what makes you ignorant. You act like covid didn't happen. Pre-covid, Trump's GDP numbers were better than Obama's, regularly hitting 2-3%. And guess what? Wage growth outpaced inflation tooThis is the part where you cope some more

Do you think this "graph" of market performance is relevant in any way? Seriously boyo. The market has downturned many many times and stimulus checks were never sent.

Can you explain how inflation doubled from January to March and doubled again from March to June when virtually none of Biden's covid bill dollars had been spent?

Could it be the $2.7T Trump injected into the economy the prior year you think?

lol at you.

Trump never hit even 4% for a quarter or 3% for a year, first time EVER. Trump's economy sucked. And in your view covid was gone when Biden took office?

Wage growth is outpacing inflation right now much biglier than it ever did for Trump boyo. Tell me something Mr. Econ wiz, why did Trump cry so much about Fed rates that they LOWERED rates in 2019? Is that something you do with a "booming" economy?

Could it be the $2.7T Trump injected into the economy the prior year you think?

lol at you.
Why do you keep talking about inflation from Jan to March? It was within normal range until Biden told everyone they were getting extra cash they didn't need, driving up massive demand. I remember a guy I worked with got $4k because of his kids. Guess what? He blew it all on consumerist garbage, just like everyone else did.Because they didn't need it

Thanks Biden, thanks a lot. That's what happens when you let liberal "demand-focused" nuts run the economy
