Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

The truth is …. Tariffs were implemented because it was known the Ai/automation age was coming . Tariffs were an attempt to maximize the jobs here in the USA . Obviously a company is going to invest in infrastructure and machinery in 3rd world nations unless it becomes more costly to do so . Even the threat of tariffs force corporations to move back to USA for the investment. Jobs are being lost to machines and software …. That part was inevitable… these data centers everywhere will be supporting it all . People may hate the idea of tariffs but every other country was beating us up with while we sent taxpayer money everywhere . Tariffs are a necessity to maximize the ability for USA to continue to be world leaders . We are the largest consumers of goods in the world and every country wants their products here to market . We can hope that Ai isn’t as successful as they thought it would be and it slows the cuts …. Ford already has reversed their decision to dump engineers. They lost a tremendous amount of knowledge. Our company doesn’t seem to care about lost knowledge and experience… we went thru it in 2002 when verizon formed . They don’t learn their lesson and even wall street media coverage is noting Dan’s ineptitude using the oldest trick in the book … dump employees to get your stock price up . So investors aren’t buying it … dumping bodies with no care about the customer who hate Ai and dealing with ques or machines like Ai . Dan will get his bonus and leave a graveyard of carcasses to rot .

the government is fudging the employment and inflation numbers. they are much worse in reality

Not to worry, the Orange guy (when not filling his pockets with billions) has concepts of a plan to fix all this.
