When the government bailed out greedy banks back in 2008 a backlash in the form of occupy wall street movement ensued that caused more regulation of financial institutions to reign in greed. We need an occupy silicon valley movement today. Wanted to gauge interest in mobilizing to express our displeasure at the unnecessary layoffs. We could start by picketing and demonstrating against the CEOs who 'take responsibility' for over hiring during the pandemic by laying off OTHER people, in front of their multi million dollar mansions.I just want to throw some eggs y'all! Would you join me?
Lol right because lobbying the government to regulate big tech will solve problems. Just look what the EU did. Didn’t solve anything but now every fucking website has an annoying “we use cookies” pop up. More of that is just what we need.
People will only join the movement if they can do it remotely
It is just the start. You shitting already…weak sauce
Sounds like a great idea. Go right ahead champ, make yourself unhireable and improve the career odds for everyone else.
For people in Seattle, assemble in Medina, we are taking down the billionaires
No you aren’t.
Definition of madness is to do the same thing over and over expecting a different result. Clearly the current system isn't working, which you seem to acknowledge by saying techies will do something in reaction to current state of affairs. However, you seem to be entirely missing the plot of political action necessary to make meaningful change. No one is looking for handouts, but this ridiculous wealth gap and lack of consequences for decision makers needs to change. Another startup isn't gonna solve the sickness of the current system. Also, every techie has to play politics at some level. How do you think most promotions happen?
The backlash was because average people were impacted. No one cares that tech bros have to find new jobs and actually do productive work.
