Do you expect easy money to come back? Nearly all of the companies laying people off are the unsustainable ones.

I can imagine a lot of companies struggling to hire in a few months. But I can't imagine they being the same ones that are just firing.

Google? Microsoft? Facebook?

There are a lot of companies not unsustainabled, at least in the 10 year frame, that are laying off.

I think easy money is coming back. There's still a bunch of wealth that doesn't know anywhere to find returns, that hasn't changed.

But with inflation driving up interest rates, that wealth will appreciate sitting as cash.

High inflation means it's all the more important to find a return. You don't get interest from holding cash, you get interest from lending it out; on a personal scale maybe you can do that by lending to your bank but for those looking for a return on large amounts of capital it's not that simple.
