from Eric Swalwell, The Great Layoff, & We Endorse Katie Porter | The Tim Dillon Show #492 · #492

Tim continues categorizing businesses by class: payday loan and debt consolidation shops for broke people, and precious antique stores for the wealthy, complete with a bit about a shop owner fawning over a customer named Meryl.
- Businesses targeted at degenerates: prepaid cell phone companies that overcharge, credit cards shipped to broke college kids.
- Payday loans, debt consolidation, and similar predatory businesses cluster next to frozen yogurt shops in strip malls—serving the same clientele.
- Rich businesses like antique stores, where owners call customers with names like Meryl to pitch a little table with a drawer for the kitchen.
- Tim poses the question: if given millions of dollars today, what business would actually excite you to start in current America?
- Mass layoff era is upon us, with Snap, Block, Amazon, and Oracle using 'right-sizing' as cover to cut 16% to 40% of their workforces.
- Oracle laid off 20,000 to 30,000 people in a single email.
