Massive layoffs as gloom deepens

Workers around the world face losing their jobs as several big corporations announced more than 70,000 layoffs in one single day.

I learn many such words from the publications from the desk of the supreme leader.

I'm yet to understand most of them - but I take comfort in the knowledge that we are the best hands possible.

I'm optimistic about my defeatism. Is that good or bad?

So is it defeatism or is it pessimism? I need to know what I'm being warned against.
