2024 has seen two mass layoffs at Microsoft, with 1900 staff laid off in January, before a further 650 Xbox employees were shown the door in September.

US is the OG oligarchy, but we cosplay “Democracy” to cope
I agree, but yours are real oligarchs, while those I’m talking about are a relatively new thing for you.
Russian-style ones are just blokes from one and the same corporation who chose they want to be celebrities. A façade. They used oligarchy as a scapegoat in the 90s, to avoid lustration while it still could be done.
