    This is just the SF bay area. The article has a chart of firms that have had to kick folks to the curb. What is sad and ironic is in the bay area, they were doing great prior to the silly Covid lockdowns. That was under a non-Democrat administration. The Bay area tends to vote Democrat and now under Democrat administration, they are being kicked to the curb

    I find no joy in that because regardless of their votes based upon feelings, they are now out of work and that is no laughing matter
