    A lot of the layoffs are due to AI.

    Imagine when they find out it’s actually shit and they need to hire the people back and they ask for a good salary. They’ll turn around again asking their gouvernements for subsidies or temporary foreign workers saying no one wants to work anymore.

      I’d love if there were some sort of salary baseline that companies are required to abide before asking for staffing handouts. “We’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas!”

          Lol. I’m all for raising the minimum wage to something livable. But also at the same time, there’s got to be some kind of mechanism that forces these companies to pay people properly. Either that or make unions mandatory.
