But instead of investing the savings into their workforce, Amazon just announced thousands of layoffs and plans to spend $200B on AI.
Textbook corporate greed.

I'm so glad Rep Casten is in Congress.
If you want to FINALLY watch Scott Bessent get pinned down on specifics about the illegal money laundering operation being conducted by the Trump admin from someone who knows WTF he’s talking about, this clip is your chance. Bessent gets destroyed.
