📊 This Week’s Headlines You Need to Know
🔥 Economic Blackout Friday – February 28, 2025
Today marks a nationwide financial protest: consumers halting non-essential spending for 24 hours. Why? To challenge corporate greed, inequitable wages, and unchecked executive bonuses.
Key takeaways:
Spearheaded by grassroots organizations, this economic freeze is designed to send a loud and clear message to major corporations.
Retail giants and e-commerce behemoths are expected to lose billions.
Consumers are making their voices heard without speaking a word.
Caution: Consider how this might impact small businesses. Protest responsibly.
📉 Key Economic Indicators
Inflation Is Slowing (Sort Of):
The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index rose just 0.3% in January, bringing the annual rate to 2.5%. That’s a dip from last month, but don’t celebrate just yet—the Federal Reserve is watching closely.
U.S. Economic Growth Decelerates:
GDP expanded 2.2% year-over-year in Q4 2024, signaling weaker business investment and hesitant consumer spending.
What this means for you:
Don’t rely on a single income stream—diversify.
Keep your skill set sharp—economic shifts favor those who adapt fastest.
💼 Corporate Shakeups
Autodesk Cuts Jobs:
1,500 employees—9% of their workforce—were laid off as part of a strategic restructuring.
Meta Tightens Internal Security:
Several employees were fired for leaking information. Expect more companies to follow this hardline approach.
Stanford Freezes Hiring:
Even the world’s wealthiest universities are pausing new hires. If Stanford’s freezing, other institutions are likely reconsidering their budgets.
Caution: If you’re in academia or tech, start planning alternative career paths now.
