LA Times staffers say ~150 of their colleagues were laid off today in a Zoom webinar by HR with chat disabled and no Q&A.
@w7voa how many of the 150 had recently written an article about how good the economy is?

This fits a pattern of consolidation and political orientation by eroding 'national reporting' seen for decades going now. It's very sad. I wonder how many will continue the work but be independent and spin up a vlog/podcast to continue the work?
