Amazon to Fire 10,000 Employees as Early as This Week: The world’s largest online retailer, Amazon, will begin laying off 10,000 employees in corporate and technology roles beginning this week, according to a report from The New York Times. According to the report, the layoffs would be the largest in Amazon’s history and would have a massive effect on the company’s devices unit – including the voice-assistant Alexa, as well as the retail division, and human resources departments. Amazon’s planned retrenchment during the critical holiday shopping season — when the company typically has valued stability — shows how quickly the souring global economy has put pressure on it to trim businesses that have been overstaffed or underdelivering for years. Amazon would also become the latest technology company to lay off workers, which only recently it had been fighting to retain. Earlier this year, the e-commerce giant more than doubled the cap on cash compensation for its tech workers, citing “a particularly competitive labor market.” https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/11/bidenomics-amazon-fire-10000-employees-early-week/ WATCH – Priest Unharmed After SUV Flies over Car: ‘God’s Hand Was in It’: Father John Bok is still trying to understand how he narrowly escaped danger while on his way to Mass in Milford, Ohio. “It’s a miracle,” the priest told the Catholic News Agency (CNA) earlier this month. The incident happened October 2 as he was driving to Mass for the Feast of the Guardian Angels when a fellow driver experienced a seizure and blacked out. The SUV drove off the road, rammed into a few obstacles, then sailed over Bok’s white car without leaving a single scratch. Video footage showed the black SUV smack into a pole and go airborne as the other vehicle continued on down the road as if nothing happened. “I do believe it’s a miracle, that God’s hand was in it some way,” Bok told Inside Edition. “All of a sudden, I sense something go by me but I didn’t really see it.” The priest continued on his way and later delivered Mass at St. Andrews Catholic Church. He told CNA a police officer later found him at a local restaurant and showed him the clip that was recorded by a nearby funeral home. (Video at the link.) Bok, who is a former physics teacher, later wrote on the Franciscan Friars website, “Why was the pole standing in that exact spot attached to nothing? By what laws of physics did it lift the boy’s car almost 5 feet in the air and send it over my car? So many questions.” “I am certainly thankful to God. I will continue to wonder how much God and how much the laws of science played in the experience. And I continue to be amused by the fact that I was oblivious to what happened until I saw the video in the restaurant. As always, God is good,” he concluded.

The shortage could end up being a serious blow to many struggling households in the country that are already having to cut back on the likes of meat and fish in order to survive the ongoing cost of living crisis. North Korea's Kim reveals daughter at ballistic missile test: SEOUL, Nov 19 (Reuters) - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un revealed his daughter to the world for the first time on Saturday in striking photos showing the pair hand-in-hand inspecting the launch of the nuclear-armed country's largest ballistic missile the day before. North Korea test-fired a Hwasong-17 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on Friday, state news agency KCNA reported on Saturday. The biggest surprise, however, was the presence of Kim's daughter, whose existence had never been publicly confirmed before. KCNA did not name the girl, who is seen in photographs in a white puffy coat holding hands with her father as they look at the massive missile. "This is the first observed occasion where we have seen Kim Jong Un's daughter at a public event" Michael Madden, a North Korea leadership expert at the U.S.-based Stimson Center. "It is highly significant and represents a certain degree of comfort on Kim Jong Un's part that he would bring her out in public in such fashion." Kim is believed to have as many as three children, two girls and a boy, experts said. In 2013 retired American basketball star Dennis Rodman said Kim had a "baby" daughter named Ju Ae. After a trip to North Korea that year, Rodman told The Guardian newspaper he had spent time with Kim and his family, and held the baby. Ju Ae is estimated to be about 12-13 years of age which means that in about four to five years she will be preparing to attend university, or go into military service, Madden said. Kim's wife, Ri Sol Ju, also made a rare appearance at Friday's launch, according to KCNA. "Whenever Ri Sol Ju appears, there is strategic messaging involved. Normally designed to tamp down tensions, counter other aggressive messaging (like tests), or show Kim family cohesion in times of internal troubles," said Ken Gause, a North Korea leadership expert with CNA, a U.S.-based non-profit research organization.
