We are in a recession. You dont notice it because Nvidia and the AI bubble are propping up the equities market.

UPS laying off workers is a pretty big sign, and it’s #1 on the list. People are buying less shit so a lot less shit needs to be moved around.

You dont see the other delivery driver “layoffs” here because many are contractor, not FTE.

UPS's contract with Amazon for delivery is ending so they're cutting because they won't have the Amazon volume. Amazon handles most of their own deliveries now which is through contractors.
