    January saw the most layoffs to start the year since 2009. Hiring was also at the lowest level to start the year since 2009.
    

    Layoffs in January were the highest to start a year since 2009, Challenger says

    With the recent narrative centering on a no-hire, no-fire labor market, the data suggests that the layoff part of the equation could be stepping up.

  China is dominating renewable energy production while the EU fumbles around with carbon credit scams and the US is actively fighting its own climate scientists. It’s not hard to see who is actually planning for the future, and who is going to get left behind.

  Aside from environmental exploitation, a capitalist economy also makes it impossible to plan for the ecological crises it creates. What is profitable today will always take precedence over what is logical for tomorrow.
