focusing on technical employees

focusing on, technically, employees. There, FIFY!

It's all about the shekels.

We won't see more high TC opportunities with the large supply of tech workers looking for jobs with all the AI stuff and more outsourcing replacing them.

I'm glad the hedge fund manager got richer again for just a short-term gain.

Wall Street has applauded the downsizing.

Maybe would be better off without Meta, but surely we will be better off without Wall Street.
