Same title as the video. Game dev writer Alanah Pierce offers her POV on the recent layoffs from Epic Games.

This is one of the few industries that consistently and continuously posts record profits while also firing everyone who put in the work to make the success possible.

The stock market has to be one of the biggest mistakes we've made as human beings.

What even is the point? The stock market is just a ticking time bomb and when it fucks up, somehow people lose their job and their house and anything else thats sustained by income. This makes sense how??? How is the stock market not considered a crime against humanity? It doesn't benefit anyone except maybe rich people but rich people are already rich so who tf cares.

It's time the fat cats had a heart attack.

Until you dismantle inheritance, the old fat cats will find a way to pass their wealth to younger fat cats.
