Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.
Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.
Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.
Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

Analysis Summary
Reich links three tech layoffs to corporate tax cuts, but the specific numbers don't hold up. Amazon and Verizon job-cut figures are unverified; Meta is planning roughly 10% cuts in May with more to come, not the 20%+ implied by his phrasing. The underlying argument—that tax savings didn't translate to hiring—is reasonable, but cherry-picking inflated layoff numbers weakens the case. Search shows Meta's cuts are driven by AI infrastructure costs, not tax windfalls.
