There was serious labor abuse in past years, and capital doesn't have as much power in the new info-WFH-open source economy. Mineral rights and office space and expensive yearly software support contracts are gone. Stop waiting on government regulators for action on white collar issues.

Seriously? 30% of the population believes whateber chatgt-bot tells them is true on twitter

> Stop waiting on government regulators for action

I think the key is that there is likely to be violence. Look at how clinate protesters are treated.

How does that relate to capital and jobs? Unlike physical mining and physical manufacturing, capital is not a gating feature of bits and bytes tech startups.

We saw violent destruction during covid lockdowns by BLM. What did that accomplish?

Does 'tech' just mean software to you? like what about 95% of the economy, you need capital even for ebikes

I am not spokesperson for BLM, and not from US.

But UK had similar riots when the Government made a pledge not to raise univeristy fees, and in the first 3 months they raised them, and then killed a student at a protest. So protests turned into riots.

Iam not sure whats new here, we knew for thousands of years - You fuck around and piss off like a million people, eventually you are gonna find out.

Saying that capital doesn't have as much power in the new economy is bullshit.

The WFH thing is the only maybe, but you see how companies don't want that? It is much more about control than performance, as is usually the case with Capital.
