Why companies are laying off workers during record profits—and how job cuts became a Wall Street strategy.
Summary
The video argues that mass layoffs are a deliberate corporate strategy rather than a response to economic failure. The speaker claims companies cut workers during record profits to reduce labor costs, inflate stock prices, and increase executive bonuses tied to stock performance. The video also draws a parallel between layoffs and private equity tactics in mobile home parks, suggesting both models extract value while shifting harm to individuals.
