'The Economy' is awesome because it isn't based on anything It is just an insular circulation of "currency" that doesn't exist but prints more money so long as everyone just BELIEVES that it has some sort of intrinsic value It's a big ass painting made of shit and we hope people think it's Picasso

yesterday: Microsoft announced record breaking profits, becoming the second company in human history to ever be worth more than $3 trillion. today: Microsoft laid off 1,900 employees from Activision Blizzard & Xbox. the greed on display here is genuinely revolting.

The two aren't unrelated. Part of the reason their net worth is so high is because they are using layoffs to bolster their profit margins and thus their stock prices. In the tech sector that's become the justifications for layoffs as a whole.

One of the biggest problems with the world, I think, is that people gauge the economy by how much the wealthiest possess, rather than by how well the poorest live.

also, how the hell is this mf conglomerate worth $3trillion but their products continue to degrade with each iteration? "happy coincidence" that today is when my work's instance of Teams shits itself so hard that our manager has to inform us of this via a teamwide email. c-suite: raises all around!

Big companies will continue slashing workers until they create the recession they want so badly to usher Trump and the republicans back in to finally get rid of all of those pesky safety and worker protections.
