I get what you trynna say but 2 things? Just cuz it’s not happening or happened to you dont mean it hasnt happened to other folks. As we literally see news of people losing their jobs or “Trump and Musk firing folks”
Shoot if Im keeping it 100, some folks at my job just got let go today. Some folks I was pretty cool with and folks a lot of us thought was safe and secure.
And rumor has it they may not be done. This coming off the tail of a town hall 7 weeks back or so our company president said we would be fine.
I’ll be honest about one mote thing in Trumps last term from the bullshyt he was on, I had lost the job I had of 6 years at that time.
Luckily I was able to get back on my feet but it’s hard for me to trust in anything good coming from in the job industry and some folks making mockery of the so called “Doom and Gloom” hits a little bit differently when Im seeing people lose their liveyhoods
The reply was in context. You are taking it out of context. I said, according to the doom and gloom guys, as soon as Trump got into office we would all lose our jobs and be absolutely destitute. But again, the statement is now out of context so it won't make sense.
Their (doom and gloom guys) arguments have nothing to do with workforce reductions, those happen regardless of who is president. From 2022-2024, hundreds of thousands of tech workers were laid off, for example. People get let go everyday. Better example, the Clinton administration cut an estimated 250-400 thousand government jobs (National Partnership for Reinventing Government - Wikipedia).
The problem with these doom and gloom guys is their bad, emotional, politically immature takes make it impossible to have meaningful discussion around any of these issues.
As I said before, they are basically the equivalent of these unhinged dolts...
