May 2023

My daughter works in tech and was laid off at the end of March because her company had money in SVB.

She had two interviews right away, but they both said they were holding off hiring for the positions for a couple of months once the GQP started threatening to mess with the debt limit.

Not one interview since though she has applied for 4+ jobs every week.

Fuck the GQP and Powell.
