The Reuters article citing 30k came before the official announcement of 14k. All I’ve heard is that they overestimated. If somehow there’s a followup planned to reach that 30k number, I haven’t heard. It would be weird to pre-announce 16,000 layoffs before doing them.

Yeah. I did realize that. I figure Reuters could be wrong, or there could be a second wave just in time for Christmas.

I want to share this with an ex friend so bad. I just know he will ignore it.

They could give me a 100 billion tax break and it would cost the government less than any of these lazy companies.

What a great return of investment on donating a few hundred million to the Epstein Ballroom.

This economy is the bestest, hottest, biggest, economy in the history of ever! And if it crashes in the next year that’s BIDEN! 🫲🍊🫱 and who the hell is Epstein?

Anyone know what part of the bill he's referring to? Were corporate tax rates cut or was it more specific to certain sectors?
