What is the actual condition of the US economy? From personal experience, the evidence seems to contradict itself. I saved up enough from wages/crypto/land to resign from my job earlier this year, and I am still being harassed by my old employer to come back. They seem desperate.



I worked in 'law and policy,' basically reading and analyzing proposed legislation for various corporate clients. It was incredibly boring, which is one of the reasons I quit. Lots of people could do this kind of work, at least in theory. AI systems could probably parse out a lot of it, if monitored and reviewed. And yet, my old employer still seems assblasted at me for leaving. Recruiters still try to contact me almost every day.



And yet, other sectors like tech/finance seem to be shedding jobs at the moment, the banking system in general seems touchy, and many people claim to have trouble finding decent-paying work.



What's the reality of the situation? Are we seeing a bifurcation in which a shrinking pool of employees is being hired for the majority of professional jobs, with everyone else locked out of the market? What would cause a trend like this?

The book "the sovereign individual" explains it.

Doesnt matter what you thin, or what the general population thinks, what matters is to front run and profit

Safe and sound

I can't speak for everyone but I have noticed a lot of posters talking how hard it is to find work now.



I myself got fired a few months back and its been difficult even just getting interviews when last summer I was getting recruiters contacting me almost daily.



Tbh I'm on the side that's fearful of how the next months will turn out, things are about get a lot uglier before they get better.

There's something unsettling about current corporate art, the forced manufactured diversity in people showed by extravagant disordered shapes combined with the progressive attitude of every single character depicted, that only makes diversity in this context something fake, something they put there just for show, the subjects are not really diverse despite pretending to be diverse, they always smile and carry peaceful and understanding behavior, they look the same in character, do the same things, think the same away trapped in a collectivist culture, they are not really diverse but want to show they are, diversity is celebrated symbolically at the same time purged completely because diversity in nature brings competition, competition breeds hate and inequality, and we don't want that since they're right-wing concepts.



After all, to be progressive is to be nice.

>Are we seeing a bifurcation

No bifurcation. The recession just hasn't hit all industries yet. Just like in 2008, some industries are hit before others. The first industry to be hit back then was housing construction and only later did other industries follow. Tech was last because it had already been beaten down from the prior dotcom bubble bursting.



The situation is different now. Tech and health care were the only big sectors that benefited during covid lockdowns. However, they are in decline now which is exemplified by PC shipments having boomed during covid and fallen sharply since last year.
