Literally an everyday occurrence. There are 33.2 million companies in the USA. Mass layoffs happen every day. But you know what else happens every day? Mass hiring.

There are literally fewer layoffs in tech now than 2 years ago. Go to the charts tab and scroll down to "Tech layoffs since COVID-19": https://layoffs.fyi/

There were over 4x the amount of tech layoffs 2 years ago according to this chart.

I understand the emotion behind your comments, as many people are frustrated with the economy in the US today. But your argument would be a lot stronger if you used factual, quantitative analysis.

Well, you're clearly not interested in a goof faith discussion of we can't even align on what "mass firings are" l. I'm not here to just yell words at each other over nitpicks. You know what I meant when I said "over decades"
