Great article. Are these the same oligarchs the media and politicians fawn over and endlessly defend their obscene wealth and inhuman policies? Are they still great "job creators?" I keep looking for any pushback on these labor cuts. I think this is the real "War on Christmas:" firing so many as we go into the biggest holidays of the year. I guess they're all fine with throwing these hardworking people out and onto unemployment while actual taxpayers pick up the tab. Then they still expect everyone to keep buying their crap made in China or creep through their dystopian landscapes of social media.
These people are disgusting on so many levels. Their stock valuations take a hit; something each billionaire could easily absorb (and rebound), but they refuse to give an inch and act suddenly and violently to throw their staff away. They take tens of thousands of working people who need these jobs and brush them away like a stray piece of lint. Remind us what excess profits did they hoover up during the pandemic when people had very little choice in how to access the essentials of daily life? I give them 5 out of 5 vomit emojis!
Thanks for this particularly great column. I read you all the time, and always find it rewarding, but have not commented. Keep up the good work.

Any substack recommendations? I’m trying to be on social media less.
