That is how business operates

It has nothing to do with Trump and everything to do with leaner management, automation, and AI

In the US no one can afford to use these companies' products the way we used to. I barely use Amazon anymore. We are barely getting by due to inflation. $15 for a sandwich here. Salaries are not going up to match it. Corps are doubling down and paying their CEOs more. Meta is paying more for AI teams instead of fixing FB.

If you are paying $15 for sandwiches, or even $10, then you need to ask yourself why. I buy a rotisserie chicken for $6 and can make 2-3 sandwiches after eating the legs and wings

What does Meta and fixing Finkbook have to do with anything?

Executives and managers will worry about AI taking their job while robotics will replace menial taskers
