Well, the unemployment rate is going to jump thru the roof?

[imanamerican63]

17,000 employees from Spirit Airlines and unknown number of subcontractors are now out have lost their jobs!

And no! This is NOT Biden’s fault!

Thanks GOBers and Trump traitors and himself! You all caused this mess!

1. This did not occur on Biden's watch

that ended a year on 4 months ago … even though, during Biden’s entire presidency, the media acted like TFG was a shadow president, giving him oxygen at every turn

Fuck these people

2. In some places it will hit hard

but I have to say, 17000 won't make much of an impact nationwide. The labor force is 170 million give or take. 17000 is 1/100 of one percent.

3. It's the ripple effect

The unemployed tend to spend less, leading to more unemployed, leading to more unemployed spending less, and so on. This leads to a crisis in effective demand, which was the engine of the Great Depression. Your math doesn’t hold up.

4. The answer is yes, it will jump through the roof

When driving today I looked around at the small businesses I used to see and sometimes patronize. Well, many are gone. Just empty storefronts now. The squeeze on the middle class is bad and getting worse.
