I’ve never seen these style arguments pass the “show me a good example” phase, at the scale that would be needed to “prop up the economy.”

Well look at my 500 seat company. We laid off 200 people with no measurable productivity impact. And we didn't embrace AI in the process.

We were just keeping the unemployment figures down.

Also look at the large tech companies. Same story.

Current layoffs are more correlated with overhiring during/after Covid. The fed money printer, growing national debt and low interest rates are more to blame.
