    As we approach the halfway point of reverse order company CEOs are starting to feel the uncertainty of our economy. We will begin to start hearing about huge numbers of layoffs from big name companies during the next 6 weeks. Also, the layoffs will be upwards of 10% or more of that company's workforce

    Economic uncertainty due to the erratic decisions being made in Washington. Want someone company does it then others will just become copycats. Finally, they will see a bump in their stock price as a result.

    I hope that I am wrong that we see a hiring boom, but nothing in the short-term points in that direction and corporate CEO's only think in quarters

    Wait, so the big issue with deporting all of the illegals is that there wouldn’t be anyone to do the work those illegals were doing…with a cut of 10%, seems like we’ve found people who are available to do the work. Kill 2 birds with 2 stone

    Are you saying that large corporations have high numbers of people that don't have proper documentation?

    *Edit*

    Ok I read it again. Make sure to tell your family and friends that if it happens to them

    You can clearly see that Trump is so much winning:

    It is hard to tell who the bigger joke is, Trump or his MAGA supporters.

    Keep egging him on, I’m sure you’ll get to eat an omelet someday in the far future!

    After you scrape the egg off your face that is…

    And 45% of companies planning to cut jobs this year? That’s obtuse isn’t it?

    Trying to imply Trump is the reason is absolutely obtuse.

    Sure, because when an avalanche of federal worker firings meets decreased government expenditures which runs headlong into massive market uncertainty due to unintended consequences of unplanned government slash and burn and global realignment due to transactional foreign policies there’s not going to be increased risk management by corporations and, by extension, a determination that the trend coming is an almost self-fulfilling process of less economic activity. Right?

    We are entering the Trump FAFO sweepstakes, better get your tin cups and comfortable bread line shoes out!

    Oh wait, the government cut the bread funds, so it’s just going to be the hunger games!

    Nevermind, go long on those gun stocks!
