Intel cut 33,900 jobs

Microsoft cut 9,000

Meta cut 11,000 in 2023 with more coming in 2025

Their enabling AI and automation has now cost them their jobs.
Now what. Do they all vote for democracy? or autocracy?

Throw in US Govt cuts (that it officially admits) are 4,108.

Add up the math and it looks like the non-unionized middle class is seriously downsizing.

But no honest jobs report or other economic indicators will be forthcoming.

No, Americans won't turn on each other.

The REAL point of this downsizing without any widespread information on, or recourse for employment is to make people feel isolated. Therefore hopeless.
Cut 2,400 food banks and 40,000,000 SNAP help nationwide could also make unemployed people get desperate.
