A tech unicorn slays, but for how long? I do think the intention of most American tech companies is to financialize some aspect of the market, and that is lucrative and "slays" - b…

UAW already went through some reforms which is arguably why they're experiencing a surge in popularity. In particular Shawn Fien was part of UAWD's 1 member, 1 vote initiative: htt…

We always ignore Nordic unions when ever we trash talk unions. If things were as easy as black and white then there wouldn't even be a need to debate, the productive non-union busi…

Job security is way better, work conditions are debateable because of a "work till you die" work culture.

Are you saying GM's thinking is broken or the governments? GM did what was in their own best interests, the other was to declare bankruptcy - what company would have chosen differe…

Because the Nordic labor market is dominated by unions and is considered highly competitive on the global stage? Or because to believe that propaganda as a "universal truth" it wou…

Both might be equally capable but the incentives are entirely different. An Engineer is motivated to deliver accurate predictions because that's their job. A CEO is not motivated t…

> They have to compete against other businesses to hire skilled positions. Yes, but because they are a collective when they "purchase" skilled positions they are usually asking for…

"it doesn't make people feel heard" isn't a real emotion, it includes a judgement about the AI. According to "Nonviolent Communication" p235; "unheard" speaks towards the feelings …

Imagine swapping out leaders and expecting the same outcomes. Why even bother?

Woah there, let's calm down a second. There is no need to advocate for the profitability and ethics in kidnapping private jets with billionaires on board. I'm sure if we just vote …

Arguably they already figured out how to lecture us: "We can't scale back extraction so we might as well go for geo-engineering." Though they are probably still working out how to …

Devil's advocate: maybe because the author perceives "tickle down economics" as a position adopted by many of the working class and may even aide in survival.

And the wild thing is, we have more control to change the situations we pursue than the quality of talent at our disposal.

Indeed. We've been told that the current economic system is providing better access for all, but when we point out specific cases when that is not the case we're then told it's pro…
