The logical place for AI in a company is at the top. Replace the CFO, CEO ect. After all AI,s strong suit is making logical decisions and with 1 job cut the company could save hundreds of millions.
Healthcare is cutting jobs because of the recent beautiful bill. Just saw that Oracle had layoffs in their Health segment.
Employment is soft, the inflation is still an issue. But we will have a rate cut soon.
How does the mass exodus out of the US effect that....the unpaid patients without getting into the p'sSome healthcare is cutting jobs due to some states recently requiring minimum staffing levels.
Since they can't meet that, they reduce the number of beds they are filling.
Therefore, overall they don't need the staff.
I never thought of that but it makes perfect sense. Likely a huge factor.How does the mass exodus out of the US effect that....the unpaid patients without getting into the p's

ERs are supposedly much emptier now. I can tell you in my travels to migrant heavy areas, the difference in Walmart crowds is noticeable.I never thought of that but it makes perfect sense. Likely a huge factor.

I saw that in Palm Coast FL last month, the bad traffic was cut in half...really... a huge difference
It's those without papers who leftProbably less tourists.
Some people are broke and can’t afford to spend money for vacations….. some are people from out of town avoiding Florida and orange guy.
Yeah I keep hearing how great everything is..... where?Employees in various Las Vegas hotels, casinos and restaurants say big drop in tourism.
I think it’s hard to hide the fact the economy is slowing even though the puppets on TV saw everything is just fine.
Yes, the older I get the less the "chaff" bothers me.Life is good in the best country on earth!
You're free to fail if you so choose.
Economies are and will be cyclical. The past few years have been on an incredible upswing; a downturn is inevitable.Employees in various Las Vegas hotels, casinos and restaurants say big drop in tourism.

I have to agree, how can anyone argue with an average of 50% increase in the value of stocks over the last three years that POSSIBLY things might slow down? I mean, that is an INSANE increase. It begs for a overall correction and might actually be healthy.Economies are and will be cyclical. The past few years have been on an incredible upswing; a downturn is inevitable.
This is why I am a long term planner and practice diversification.
Contingency planning for the win!
AG, as you know, the stock market is highly related to the economy but is not the economy. Also, the market is dominated by the big boys so it is hardly a good economy metric. Tesla is the perfect example; is it that much better than the rest of the automobile market? Of course not. Stocks are not up 50%; probably closer to 15% but that is still a great number.I have to agree, how can anyone argue with an average of 50% increase in the value of stocks over the last three years that POSSIBLY things might slow down?

Gloom and doom in the media is for advertising revenue and the media knows throughout mankind's modern history we love to read and hear misery. Proof = How many happy news stories do we see in the headlines even though the good in mankind far outweigh the bad and despair.
The Dow Jones, NASDAQ, S&P 500 are all up in the 50% range over the last three years.AG, as you know, the stock market is highly related to the economy but is not the economy.

To keep the employment numbers so high is simply unrealistic. Winners and losers. My thing is, what will AI do to our economy and the world beyond? Silicon Valley High Tech will likely continue to explode while other areas and economies may struggle to keep pace.
Time will tell. My chrystal ball is no clearer than anyone else's. But market cap is dominated by tech.
Those are indicies, not the market.The Dow Jones, NASDAQ, S&P 500 are all up in the 50% range over the last three years.
Easy to verify.
I’ll give you a head start.
Here is the Dow for the last three years, exactly a 50% gain, and as I posted the others too
