there have been a lot of layoffs in a job market where people are already struggling to find work.
the unemployment numbers still look good but it's misleading due to the amount of NEETs who gave up on looking for work.
a lot of people are also relying on making scraps from rideshare and delivery apps so they're technically not unemployed. but truthfully a lot of people aren't making ends meet right now.

throughout all this, inflation has been rising so the fed has been cutting interest rates, which is a recession indicator. i'm sure we'll be in one soon.
heck, we might already be in one. if inflation keeps rising during a recession they call it stagflation, like in the 70s-80s.
i hope we can agree as a country to stop pitting geriatric fucks and zionist puppets against each other by 2028.
