If you work at one of the large tech companies that, in the last few weeks [or months], have laid off thousands of employees, you may be wondering what the hell is going on. Especially if the company you’re working for is not actually struggling economically right now. If you work for Google, say, you must be thinking, “What is it about the coming recession that makes a company that’s doing just fine institute broad layoffs for the first time in its 23-year history?”

The answer, my friend, is class warfare.

The other thing I noticed is the younger generation seem to be less experienced with computers.

Yes they have used computers most of their lives but when I talk to interns for example the number of them who don't know what the POST on a computer is or how to use a command line is astounding.
