Anything to reduce salaries.

"Nope, we're making less money than ever, more cuts are coming."

It certainly feels like every business in the USA is on team "make weird business decisions and excuses as a way to shaft worker pay and rights."

you're definitely on to something. I think they got scared by the surge of unions and strikes post-COVID, and now they're trying to push us into a recession to make us desparate again.

Oh yeah, there's no doubt about that. It was over two years ago that economists were already crowing about how soon people would be running out of their "pandemic savings" and would have to buckle under pressure again. They never hide this stuff, if you pay attention to the right people, they're right out there being super honest about what they're doing and what they want.

They want to starve the citizens out, which is crazy when you consider the old statement "No society is more than three meals away from revolution." They'd rather risk pushing us to revolution by turning the screws rather than give up any amount of power, control, or wealth.

As far back as 2021 they were talking about people running out of "pandemic savings."
