Amazon. Let's start here before we get to the bank situation. Amazon to lay off 9,000 more workers,

which brings the total to 27,000 people. How do we feel about this? What does this say about the

economy? What does it say about the tech sector? What does it say? I'll just say the first thing,

and it goes back to when we talked about it in December, when they laid off 18,000 people,

and we saw a meta-do it, and we were not 18,000, when we saw them do 11, and we saw Google,

and we saw Microsoft do it. These are the effects of the pandemic. When we talk about a lot of

tech companies, how would they go into respond to the overwhelming demand on their product? Well,

the response was to hire more people. When people have changed the way that they go about business,

the way they go about lifestyle, the way they go about spending, there's going to be a change in

your business, and the change just happened to be, especially for Amazon, that people are going

back outside in their shop, and people still use Amazon, but there's an alternative to how they

once were only shopping. This is pretty interesting. Between Q4 2019 and Q3 2022,

their head count increased by 93%. That's nearly almost 100%. More people worked during that time

than they originally planned. Even if you were creating a hiring board in 2019, going to 2020,

you could have never imagined that this would be the increase of hires. What comes on the

inverse of that when there needs to be cutbacks, some people are going to lose their jobs. It's

unfortunate that count is like 27,000. This round of cuts is expected to impact the cloud computing,

advertising, human resources, and Twitch units. A lot of gaming, cloud computing. It's unfortunate,

because these 27,000, I know it feels like it's a number, but these are actually people,

these people have families, and these people have bills, and it's unfortunate. This is part of

the economy. This is what comes with growth over hiring. There are going to be layoffs and cutbacks.

Again, it's unfortunate. I don't think this is the end, because we're still trying to figure out,
