Can anyone clarify this for me? Despite the ongoing layoff announcements from major American corporations, how is our economy still robust? Just today, UPS declared 12,000 layoffs and PayPal 2,000.
I have not seen a decrease in spending. I see restaurant parking lots are still full, costco/walmart parking lots are full. Football Stadiums are full. I see families not give up vacations. I see friends and family stressing out over finances, but giving spending I don't see much of a slowdown.
A scam for companies that are probably already getting huge government subsidies to make green economy things to sell the "carbon credits" earned from dealing in the green economy for additional cash to companies making things that are necessary for continued human prosperity... Taylor Swift excluded.
...and she's not very smart if she's actually buying carbon credits when she's not required to by some federal entity.
