U.S. workers are being laid off at levels not seen since the Great Recession in 2009, all thanks to Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.

A new report from Challenger, Gray, and Christmas, an international firm that helps laid-off workers find new jobs, said that job losses spiked a whopping 245 percent to 172,017 last month, higher than any month since the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic in July 2020, and the highest in any February since 2009.

      It kinda is Joe Bidens fault. If he had just won in 2024, or even stepped down earlier so there could’ve been a primary, this wouldn’t have happened.

      Of course more importantly, I will blame the people who voted for Trump more than I will blame the people who abstained or voted third. Those people suck, too, but plenty more people actively chose this shit.
