#1 This is only a small beginning. This will ripple throughout America. Occurring now massively but not reported except for something like this corporation. Disney another. People are unable or unwilling to spend. Inventories build, projected volumes not met each day. Example one major retailer projected to do $8000 Thursday was at $3000 at 4PM. Solution; cut hours, cut back stock. Next cut workers. Always those in high paying positions now actively targeted. Yes, even in research lab sciences. If not cut, cross trained. Answer phones as secretaries are gone, HA, take out the trash. Degrees and OH, vacations deleted. Look for another company; no way, they are having the same problems.

#2 Is your job Safe if it can be done remotely from a call center in Mumbai? Creating tangible things locally is the only really secure job -- until the Green Warriors 'outsource' the pollution to the Third World...

#3 And definitely a possible unintended (?) consequence of the "work from home" methods during covid. I think a lot of people are going to realize that if they can work from home, then someone from thousands of miles/kilometers away can do the same teleworking job for much cheaper.

#5 And Big Mike and the Magic Kenyan just fled to the Bezos system. How coincidental, that they bailed just as the money dried up.

#8 Start with the Obamas. They haven't done shit

...In fairness, they were never supposed to, other than turn out a 'special' or two, then turn over the bulk of it to the DNC. The difficulty was that Netflix couldn't just hand over that much money in a lump sum, so they had to stretch it out...and it ain't there anymore.

#9 Train to Busan is my favorite zombie movie. Thought Voltron: Legendary Defender was pretty tight.

There is a lot of garbage, or worse, political payoffs and pederasty.
