These 'workers' needed a reality check. They won't even come back to the office. They turned 'lying flat' into a competitive sport. Welcome to the REAL world! Only the smart & strong survive.

Amazon employees in an office?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and bet that it's the warehouse staff getting the axe.

These layoffs are as much Biden's fault as COVID was Trumps fault, but life is just not fair, so it lands at the door of the POTUS.

You hold presidents accountable for what they can control. COVID was not Trump's fault, but not taking the virus seriously ("it will end in April!") and taking the proper precautions (including wearing a god damn mask) indeed was his fault.

You still failed to answer the question asked.

You don't understand what debate is, you just want to use some random data points to protect Biden, but no data points you are going to give are going to make people forget how much they have lost this year in the markets.

I'm honestly curious, here. How does showing more data equate to random data? You can see the entire trend.

You don't seem to like seeing the entire trend. Why is that?

This is how white collar fake republicans kill economies . The first home loan scam under Reagan/Bush put millions upon millions out of work thus pulled trillions of dollars out of the economy.

Say what you will these bogus republicans are not the brightest cookies on the block however seem to be
experts at ****ing up the economy.
 
Fascinating how Republicans hate people who don't work, but, as we can see by these threads, also hate people that do work. Cheering people losing their jobs amazing..

Anyway this is to be expected.. Tech peaked.. Online shopping peaked too... People are back out, shopping, etc.. Walmart just announced spectacular earnings..

Biden has to own his inflation, recession, high gas prices, and everything else that happens under his watch.

You're looking for "fair", well fair comes to town once a year and it brings rides, shows, and crooked games.

The bogus ****ers just pulled 25 thousand people out of the economy. Did they learn this from the Supply Side New World Order Global Fascist Economy school of anti american studies?

You are trying to cherry pick, by only wanting to see 10 months of data.

You should be more honest.

When you're President and inflation is raging while the stock market tanks, the buck stops with you.

Is it fair?

No, but then what is?

These layoffs are as much Biden's fault as COVID was Trumps fault, but life is just not fair, so it lands at the door of the POTUS.

How freaking stupid. No one but partisan hacks such as yourself would suggest these private sector layoffs have anything to do with Biden.

BTW- who said Covid was Trump's fault? Answer: no one. That is another stupid strawman.

Trump was criticized, and rightly so, for his response to Covid. Not blamed for its existence.

Perhaps a distinction without a difference, but fired and laid off are not the same thing.
The first implies fault on the part of the employee; the other does not. (In my mind).
 
Just so I understand the complaint, what is anyone suggesting we do about Twitter, Amazon, and Facebook letting all these people go?

The president 'owning' it or saying 'the buck stops here' doesn't mean he's saying 'oh, yeah I did that, my bad.' :rolleyes:

This is just right-wing propaganda to deflect the attention from those who are truly causing the high gas prices: greedy corporations

You should start a bumper sticker business with such clever little quips!
 
Yeah Biden should say 'the midterms, low unemployment, good news is all because of Me, but all the bad news is not my fault'...

Trumpsters are ok when their guy says that over, and over and over and over...

I asked YTD?

You're just cherry picking.

What has Biden done for me lately?

My net worth is down 25% while my dollar buys less not to mention the cutback on hours at work.

Thanks Biden!

No President controls inflation or the stock market. Facts is the US is actually doing much better than almost every other country. As far as your portfolio goes you may want to think about rebalancing. We are down about 7% in the markets and catching up pretty quickly. Our net worth hasn't changed much at all. Might even be up a tad.

It's the result of poor corporate management. We're allowed to criticize poor corporate management in a capitalist society, right?

I was honest when I told you some of how Biden's economy is effecting me in the last year.

The books don't balance for me, and a great deal of other people.

The truth of the matter is this has been coming for a long time, ever since we abandoned sound growth and fiscal policy for the madness of printing our way to wealth.

That cuts deep across many administrations and Congress.

But that doesn't change the fact that when you are POTUS the buck stops with you, no matter who else was involved, and Biden refuses to be honest with the American people about shared pain nor does he do much of anything to return us to sound growth and fiscal policy.

So who ended up with all the money that was printed?

The same people laying off all these workers, but that's not who is paying for it, people like me and you are. I can't hold to account men not in office that have not power to stop the madness, Biden is in office now and he has the power.
 
They can get behind the pipeline workers in the unemployment line for solar panel repair job or they can dig ditches. in other words, screw em !
