      The truth behind the why has little impact on the fact the layoffs have been constant since 2023. Some charts show tech jobs declining since 2019.

      People can’t wait around while companies circle-jerk. They will move on, crash into poverty, or retire. People in college will stop learning the theory and mechanics. The labor force will evaporate - just the way it happened in manufacturing.

      When hiring begins again, it will be a rude awakening. Those who still can do the work will command even higher wages.

    Article title: AI is so amazing, it is replacing workers at a worrying pace!

    Article body: Company AI investment debt is leading to layoffs.

    Edit: 2 paragraphs about claims that AI is replacing workers. The rest is about companies doing layoffs, with the author assuming a few of the batch layoffs are because of company debt.

    AI took our jerbs!!!

    Except really it’s just that Wallstreet loves blood as it shows a company is willing to lean up to stay competitive.

    Gentle reminder to please sharpen your pitch forks, you will need them when the billionaires crash the economy… again.
