On average, 1,600 tech workers have been laid off every single day in 2023 according to a recent report. The ongoing Silicon Valley slump has caused the Masters of the Universe including Facebook, Amazon, and Salesforce to lead the way in cutting high-paid tech employees.

Business Insider reports that according to the tracking website Layoffs.fyi, the tech industry has experienced a sharp rise in layoffs at the start of 2023, with an average of 1,600 workers being let go every day. Just 15 days into 2023, 91 tech companies worldwide have already let go of 24,151 employees, which amounts to about 15 percent of the 154,256 employees who were let go by over a thousand tech companies in 2022.

Layoff.fyi notes that between November 2022 and January 2023, Amazon, Facebook (now known as Meta), and Salesforce will lay off roughly 18,000, 11,000, and 8,000 staff members respectively. The layoffs at Amazon primarily impacted corporate roles, including those in the company’s Devices and Books businesses and human resource department. Facebook also eliminated positions across the organization, including those in its Reality Labs division, which manages metaverse initiatives.

After aggressive hiring and expansion by tech companies during the pandemic, a wave of layoffs began last year. This trend has continued into 2023 as earnings declined across the board amid worries about an impending recession.

In the first week of the year, Salesforce announced it was eliminating over 8,000 jobs. The media company Vimeo and the supply chain software provider Flexport are two other tech companies that have reduced headcount.

Not only the tech industry is laying off employees. As dealmaking slows, financial giant Goldman Sachs began terminating 3,000 employees globally last week. For the first time in four years, BlackRock, the biggest asset management company in the world, is also eliminating up to 500 positions.

Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce’s CEO, explained his company’s reasoning for the downsizing in a memo to staff, saying: “as our revenue accelerated through the pandemic, we hired too many people leading into this economic downturn we’re now facing, and I take responsibility for that.”

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY'S WAR ON BLACK AMERICA AND THE BUILDING OF THE MEXICAN SERF AND LA RAZA WELFARE STATE

 LAWLESS LAWYER Joe Biden and other Democrats have

spent the last four years repeating the mantra “no one is above

the law.” Yet Biden has advocated policies that would, as the San

Francisco Chronicle recently noted, effectively make the United

States a sanctuary country.  WE'RE WAY PAST THAT NOW!


20 Signs That Middle Class Families Are Being Wiped Out



President Biden's mass migration crisis has bestowed such fabulous riches upon these criminal organizations that traditional drug trafficking is no longer the only prize worth dying for. Nowadays, Mex cartels are battling one another for control of an illegal immigrant smuggling boom. And the bonanza of illicit gains from it are being spent on growing and arming the ranks of the cartels' paramilitary armies - creating a economic and national security threat to the U.S. Todd Bensman

The large U.S. population of illegal immigrants helps to push down wages for Americans, push disadvantaged workers out of the labor force, reduce corporate investment in technology and training, and spike corporate sales and profits. The large population also shifts the U.S. politics from a focus on Americans’ jobs and wages, and then towards a politics focused on business demands and the 1950’s claim by elites that the United States is a diverse “nation of immigrants,” not a cooperative nation for all Americans.



Biden’s Border Policies Facilitate Shocking Modern Slavery

Excerpt: Watch closely America, President Joe Biden is about to perform his greatest border crisis cover-up yet. It's a scheme to hide a massive new acceleration of human inflows into the United States behind trickery, misdirection, and probable illegality - and then laughlingly call it progress.


Democrats undermine working class with open borders and illegal labor


By Steven Camarota
New York Post,
Excerpt: Wages for working-class Americans are not keeping up with inflation. Moreover, a near-record number of Americans are now out of the labor force entirely. And yet many liberals — avowed friends of the American worker — are calling for more immigration  so that employers don’t have to raise wages and get Americans back to work.

America’s working class — and specifically black men — have had their employment opportunities and wages crushed by waves of low-skilled illegal immigration, the United States Commission on Civil Rights finds.

In 2008, the Commission issued a briefing report following deep analysis and interviews with various experts across the political spectrum. The goal of the report was to determine the role that illegal immigration plays in the lives of the nation’s working class and, more precisely, black Americans.

“In the midst of public debate over immigration reform, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights voted to examine the possible effects of illegal immigration on particularly vulnerable segments of the U.S. working population, specifically low-skill black workers,” the report states.

The Commission ultimately found that illegal immigration — on a scale ranging from 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the U.S., with millions of these illegal aliens holding jobs — has “tended to increase the supply of low-skilled, low-wage labor” that favors employers’ profit margins.

Black American men, with education rates lower than the average American, “are disproportionately employed in the low-skilled labor market, where they are more likely to be in labor competition with immigrants,” the Commission report states:

Illegal immigration to the United States in recent decades has tended to depress both wages and employment rates for low-skilled American citizens, a disproportionate number of whom are black men. Expert economic opinions concerning the negative effects range from modest to significant. Those panelists that found modest effects overall nonetheless found significant effects in industry sectors such as meatpacking and construction. [Emphasis added]

The Commission described the impact of illegal immigration on working-class Americans as a “piece of the puzzle that must be considered by policymakers in formulating sound immigration policy,” though recent proposals by Republicans and Democrats have focused almost exclusively on benefitting foreign nationals not yet in the U.S. rather than Americans harmed by decades-long mass immigration.

As a recommendation, the Commission suggested that the Bureau of Labor Statistics collect monthly figures on the number of illegal alien workers in the U.S. and compile data on how their employment is impacting jobs and wages for low-skilled Americans.

To date, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has refused to collect and compile such data.

Peter Kirsanow, the longest-serving member of the Commission, writes in the report that “there is ample evidence to suggest that at a minimum, [illegal immigration] has had an aggravating effect on both the displacement of low-skilled American workers and the racial divide in employment.”

“This is because illegal immigration tends to increase the supply of low-skilled, low-wage labor already available in the U.S. labor market,” Kirsanow writes.

Kirsanow, mirroring the Commission’s findings, proposes that immigration legislation in Congress should start studying how mass immigration worsens “both the displacement of low-skilled American workers and the racial divide in employment.”

In years following the Commission’s report, working-class Americans have seen few remedies from Washington, DC aimed at cutting overall immigration to boost their quality of life and employment opportunities.

Black Americans, in many cases, have seen their circumstances get worse. In a recent example, a group of black Americans lost their agricultural jobs to imported South African visa workers along the Mississippi Delta. The black Americans settled their discrimination claims against their former employers.

‘Not a Joke’ — Joe Biden Claims He Attended a Black Church Every Day After Morning Mass

President Joe Biden on Sunday claimed he attended a black Church in Delaware every morning after he attended Catholic Mass in high school.

“I may be a practicing Catholic, we used to go 7:30 am mass every morning in high school and college before I went to the black church,” he said. “Not a joke.”

Biden spoke about his personal experience with the black church during a visit to the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia to recognize Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. day.

The president has repeatedly claimed he was close with the black church in Delaware, despite longtime congregants saying they do not remember Biden attending the church.

Biden made a similar claim in October 2020, during a speech to the Bethlehem Baptist Church in South Carolina.

“I’d go to 8 o’clock Mass, then I’d go to Reverend Herring’s church where we’d meet in order to organize and figure where we were going to go, whether we were going to desegregate the Rialto movie theater or what we were going to do,” he said.

Despite ongoing questions about his claims about spending significant time in the black church, Biden has repeated his claim.

“I was raised in the black church politically — not a joke,” he said during a speech at an NAACP event in Iowa in 2020.

Biden spoke at the church in Atlanta to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy.

“The point is there’s hope. There’s always hope. We have to believe,” he said. “Ladies and gentlemen that was Dr. King’s path in my view. The path of keeping the faith. And it must be our path.”

During his speech, he recalled a hymn that he said was known to be a favorite of the historic civil rights figure.

“I don’t believe He brought me this far to leave me,” he said.


Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee Introduces Bill Criminalizing ‘Conspiracy to Commit White Supremacy,’ Criticism of Non-White People

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) introduced a House Bill criminalizing “conspiracy to commit white supremacy,” which includes criticism of non-white people which influences an individual to commit a hate crime. 

The legislation, H.R.61 “Leading Against White Supremacy Act of 2023,” introduced last Monday by Democratic congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas, seeks to “prevent and prosecute white supremacy inspired hate crime and conspiracy to commit white supremacy inspired hate crime.”

The congressional bill, which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, states that someone engages in a white supremacy inspired hate crime “when white supremacy ideology has motivated the planning, development, preparation, or perpetration of actions that constituted a crime or were undertaken in furtherance of activity that, if effectuated, would have constituted a crime.”

Accordingly, “conspiracy” to engage in white supremacy inspired hate crime entails the publishing of material “advancing white supremacy, white supremacist ideology, antagonism based on ‘replacement theory’, or hate speech that vilifies or is otherwise directed against any non-White person or group.”

It also calls for the Department of Justice (DOJ) to gain “authority to conduct operations and activities pursuant” to what it deems “necessary and appropriate to interdict, mitigate, or prevent such action from culminating in violent activity.”

The bill would grant the department authority to “prosecute” persons engaged in such actions, with “records of white supremacy inspired hate crimes” maintained and annual reports provided.

In response, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) accused Democrats of “making a mockery of the First Amendment.”

“In case you weren’t aware of what the Democrats were prioritizing in the 118th Congress, just take a look,” she wrote. “When they’re not bankrupting our country, they’re busy making a mockery of the First Amendment.”

“Who wants to tell her about the First Amendment?” asked conservative attorney Harmeet Dhillon.

“Congressman Sheila Jackson Lee just introduced a bill that would make it a federal crime for White people, and White people only, to criticize mass immigration or to say anything that she claims would vilify ‘a non-White person or group,’” wrote one Twitter user.

“Sheila Jackson Lee should be introduced to the Bill of Rights. Particularly the first amendment pertaining to free speech,” another wrote.

“This is a disturbing, yet not surprising, piece of #AntiWhite legislation,” yet another user wrote.

Previously, Jackson Lee has argued that institutional and systemic racism “taints and spoils” the way America treats minorities, adding that there are “aspects of America’s laws, America’s structure as relates to the black community in particular and other communities that is racist.”

As the crime wave sweeps across President Joe Biden’s (D) America, citizens are “more likely now than at any time over the past five decades to say there is more crime in their local area than there was a year ago,” Gallup reported in October.

The third fatal shooting took place at 5:30 p.m. Sunday, when a 41-year-old woman was shot “in the 6200-block of South Michigan Avenue.” The woman was shot in chest and the neck. She was taken to a hospital, where she died.

A 25-year-old man was shot and killed just minutes before that on Sunday. The man was in a car “in the 2600-block of West Fitch Avenue” when someone in a black vehicle opened fire.

The 25-year-old was shot twice and taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The Sun-Times notes that 23 people were killed in Chicago during the first 15 days of 2023.
