You might wanna talk to the 90,000 people that have been laid off since January 1 and in the past month probably 20,000 keep talking that bullshit though

There was a change to the tax code in 2017. It went away in 2022 or so. The impact was that a certain type of worker (R&D, e.g. all SWEs) now cost a minimum of about $30k more per year in company tax burden, compared to it balancing out and not costing any extra before.

It's also why the white house went crazy shutting stuff down early on in the admin (and still today). Also the tariffs.

That tax bill is due, so they'll cut snap, usaid, whatever to avoid having to raise taxes (that the wealth class would also have to pay) to make up the difference.

That’s an interesting theory that does fit all the facts I’ve seen, I’m curious how we’d tell the difference between the two

the weirdest take I've seen

completely against occams razor

My take is:

it has become fashionable to fire people because it signals that you are using AI in your corp so well, you don't need plebs anymore->stock price ups.
storm settles->hire them back PROFIT!
