Fucking hate the bullshit townhall antics when C-suites decide on layoffs.
Call it lay offs, say its the right business to stay competitive, and apologize to those affects.
Not sure why you need 40 minutes to make yourself feel better.
Bruh you want us to end up like the Weimar Republic b/c that’s how it would go. Feds trying to balance interest rates QE and inflation with 38 trillion in debt.
Here are 16 things that are happening now in the world:
1. The COP30 climate summit is underway in Belém, Brazil, where a fire broke out in the Blue Zone of the conference centre, forcing evacuations during key climate negotiations. 
2. Scientists at COP30 warn that current emissions pledges will lead to a ~2 °C global temperature rise, calling it a “death sentence” for many. 
3. The phase-out of fossil fuels is a major contention: over 80 nations support a roadmap, but major producer states are resisting. 
4. The U.S. federal government recently ended its longest shutdown in history and now must address the lingering economic and market impacts. 
5. Global economic indicators are showing weakness: for example, China’s economy is showing signs of slowing, with weaker retail spending and industrial production. 
6. Inflation worries globally are falling while concerns about unemployment and extremism are rising, according to a multi-country survey. 
7. In agriculture, more than 60% of new farming innovations in 2025 are focused on regenerative and sustainable practices such as carbon farming, circular economy models, and diversified cropping. 
8. The ongoing regional conflict in the Middle East (the Middle Eastern crisis (2023–present)) continues to have cascading effects on global trade, shipping (Red Sea), and regional stability. 
9. There is a strong push for more climate finance, especially grant-based funding to help developing countries adapt and transition. 
10. Public optimism in several countries is at historic lows: for example, in France only 8% say their country is heading in the “right direction.” 
11. The debate over the role of artificial intelligence—both in driving future economic growth and in posing financial market risks—is intensifying. 
12. Many companies and sectors are accelerating their sustainability strategies—agriculture being one—but also manufacturing and supply-chain redesigns to meet environmental goals. 
13. The U.S. dollar is benefiting from global uncertainty and “carry-trade” dynamics, especially with some other economies slowing. 
14. There is amplified media attention on extremism, online radicalization, and the role of social platforms in spreading hate content globally. 
15. The shipping lanes in the Red Sea continue to be under pressure due to militant attacks by the Houthis, affecting global supply chains — leading some ships to route around Africa instead of through the Suez Canal. 
16. Major policy discussions are underway across the world about how to finance and implement the “just transition” from fossil fuels — balancing climate goals with equity and economic impact.
