2025–26 will be remembered as the years when Wall Street soared while Main Street sank. Layoffs are spreading even as corporate profits and stock prices hit record highs. AI and automation are delivering “efficiency” for shareholders but pink slips for employees. Central banks hint at rate cuts, inflating assets again while wages stall and debt piles up.
The illusion of prosperity will glow on trading screens, but behind it lies a quiet recession of working lives. The system isn’t broken — it’s working exactly as designed: protect capital, pressure labor, and call it progress.
