You're right, it's worse. It's hurting people's lives, maybe it should be considered a crime in America due to how intertwined having a job is with also having access to healthcare, social services, government services, the ability to eat, the ability to have a place to sleep; it all seems extremely dramatic in this context.

All the more reason to tax tech companies more to provide better welfare for the nation because we all know these business magnates are too greedy to care about other humans that aren't them.

This is extremely naive. A huge portion of industries are cyclical by the nature of the markets they target.

Mining, farming, oil, solar, construction, child care, elder care, etc all have waxing and waning demand.

It’s completely detached from reality to think that once someone is hired for a job that the job will be around for 10+ years.
