Initial recall was Oct 3. FDA just reclassifed the recall on Dec 1.

Reading is important.

Job hunting is an awful experience right now, but holy shit wtf is this webpage?

Like, genuine question, how the fuck do you find business posting this bottom of the barrel AI slop shit on your front page? This looks so incredibly unprofessional it is baffling.

Don't let media spin the "record" Black Friday spending as a success. It is entirely due to inflated prices.

Articles that are reporting on this bury the issue deep and surround it with flowery talk of a "spending surge".

Rich people are spending, the common Amercian is not... because they can't.

Yeah, something twlls me it's not fear and instead people waiting until the game is actually "content-complete" because they want a complete game.

Shocking.

First off, you gotta remember that this is TGAs. It's corporate industry. Half the people that will be in that room can't even name an FGC player, let alone an event.

Second, Esports Awards exist and this was the console winner for 2019.

It is what it is. And it's not for us.

Subprime, private credit risk, ratings inflation... sound familiar at all?

Yeah, because it's fucking 2008 all over again at a scale hitherto undreamt of.

This current economy has the potential to go phenomenally bad and extremely fast.

You. Me. 𝑈𝑠.

Now, Sammy said recently that this wouldn't be the case, but he also said that the federal government is an "insurer of last resort". So, go ahead an take that "we won't" with a giant grain of salt.

Especially when he was really just trying to cover for this colossal fuck up:

"Okay..."

Stfu. There's a lot to unpack here.

There's been a steep down turn in job openings over the last 3 years and is likely to continue this downward trend which means a flattening of the curve in the opposite direction.

Shutdown over hiring? Partially. But mostly corporate overspending.

"But what does a good BC curve look like?"

Well, a good curve isn't really a curve. It's more a cluster.

This section is a 2 year period from Mar 2018 to Feb 2020 just before the shut down. Unemployment hovered around 4% which meant a "healthy" (relatively) flow of workers into open or new jobs.
November 14, 2025 at 10:53 AM
Remember when it felt easy to find a job in 2022?

Because it was. Remote work made both job availability and searching that much more accessible that workers could hold out for better jobs, or choose not to enter the job market if they wanted to do something else at the time.
November 14, 2025 at 10:53 AM
Great, so what does that mean for now and what's with the weird boot shape?

The pink is the Covid shutdown which was an instant hard launch into high unemployment, but we can see the black line starts to return everything back as companies move to remote and adjust.

Example:

The yellow line represents the housing collapse that began in Jan 2008 that's marked at an end point in June 2009. That, in turn, begins the grey line in July 2009 until Dec 2019.

Yellow was a down trend of available jobs and an increase in unemployment, and grey was the recovery up.

Welcome to the Beveridge Curve.

While the White House is very sketchy in their reporting of unemployment rates (gee, can't imagine why), we still have enough information to make some inferences.

And things right now... wellllll, it's not looking too hot.
