That “corporate” part is the dick kick, ~10% of Amazon’s solid paying white collar college educated employees go poof into a cold winter of a job market, esp in tech. 

Salt on the wounds: "Amazon shares were up 1.5% to $227.53."

I don't really understand where the new jobs are or the jobs these people can go to are. When the monopolies start getting rid of everyone there's no one left to employ them because they killed all the other companies monopolizing. 

and then who orders the products off amazon amd buys the teslas?  These people seem to have no idea of how economies or societies work...

Nah.  These motherfuckers will just hire most of them back at a 10% paycut once rates come down.

Don’t worry though- tariffs are making everything more expensive, plus SNAP is not getting funded and the ag business is cratering. Just in time for the holidays.

They know how economies work- profits measured quarterly. 

That's it.

At least you've figured out the plan.  It's enshittification of the entire economy: capture the whole fucking thing, then as a monopoly/oligopoly, fuck everyone and everything because what are you gonna do about it?

That's a "tomorrow" problem.  And in America, tomorrow is irrelevant.  See below.

We have zero long-term vision for our society.  

Our society as a whole is a bucket of resources (dollars) from which every drop has to be extracted, and extracted now.  I've used the seed stock metaphor before, but it continues to be apt. If American society and the people in it were a grain silo, containing some grain to be sold/consumed and some to be held back for next year's planting....we've reached a point where the only activity is monetizing every last seed in that silo right now, and tomorrow/planting season can get fucked, that's someone else's problem.

The American people are nothing but an expense item and a source of dollars to be extracted.  When all dollars have been extracted, we'll be like a shitty tapped-out oil well: abandoned in place with not another thought.

This isn’t my area, but how do we keep losing all of these jobs yet the Dow keeps rising?

The market is not the economy broadly.  It's the greedhead's segment of the economy and as long as they can figure out a way to make money off it, the market keeps rising.

Mark to market valuations on revenue returned from the extreme capex expenditures. They haven't realized even ⅒ of their target revenues, and don't have anything close to a sustainable business model to buy time to fix that

The stock market is only vibes. 

I guess at some point we have to acknowledge that all the vibes turn to shit and the investments are all shorts and then we have a depression.

I think it's inclusive of the Reuters reporting, since that was prior to AMZN giving a statement

This....is what we've been saying.   A stock market tied to vibes, disconnected from actual real-world metrics (you know, old school shit like profits and losses), and built heavily on circular investment (I invest money in you, which you use to buy my product), etc.....is fucking doomed to collapse once enough of/the right people say "wait a fucking minute, that's all fucking bullshit."

It's a good question.

I personally think that when the bubble pops, there will be a rubber band snapping back to hire people for growth again at big firms, but that will be shortlived and the AI era is going to have a very disrupted employee-to-revenue ratio that will be orders of magnitude lower than was previously possible and we NEED a solution for that from a social and human being perspective asap.

Thankfully, we have a perfect combination of the best imaginable political and business leadership working on just that issue.
