I can't imagine what Karl Marx would think of all this. :-)

"You mean to tell me the factory owner said the entire factory is now distributed? And you must now put the equipment on your own property in addition to using your own equipment, and you still don't get a share in the wealth? And on top of that, they will pay you less?"

Not everyone will be paid less, the best will get paid the most.

I would take paying for my own home setup (which most companies will give you a stipend for) over commuting any day.

Well, you own some means of production, but not all of them. The copyright, the data centers, etc.

But most importantly you don't own the distribution channels. In the days of Marx if you made the goods you were guaranteed to sell them, but we live in the world of Keynes and making the goods is the easy part but selling them is the hard part.

Someone should upgrade Marx with some Keynes.
