So if any businesses downsize, it's a bad economy? You think no businesses went under during the roaring 20s? By that standard, when has the economy ever been healthy?

I was just reading a Whole Foods story about how AMAZON caved to all these progressive groups demanding 15 bucks an hour and raised their bottom wage to 15 and gave everyone over 15 a raise of a dollar or something....now the Whole Foods workers are noticing their hours are getting cut back....whose fault is that?

"Amazon recently began a $15 minimum wage for its employees at Whole Foods, but then the grocery store began cutting workers’ hours, according to the Guardian.

The multinational e-commerce company enacted the increased wage in November for all U.S. workers, in response to public pressure and criticism over its pay for employees.

The same wage increase that the supermarket chain employees fought for, however, has lead to widespread cuts across stores, Whole Foods employees told The Guardian."

I thought Losing jobs was a good thing? AOC said it was a good thing. Now they can get all those government jobs, that they'll be flinging around like Oprah and free toasters, when the New Deal gets here.

I don't know what the point of your post is. If it is that the 15000 jobs being eliminated means that the economy isn't booming, then that is the sort of thing that you would accuse Trump of lying about. The employment numbers are considerably up, including well paying jobs, and in the private sector not government jobs.
