Not at all, I'm not big on the whole "crabs in a bucket" thing. People itt are suggesting they deserve to be out of work. I do believe the whole tech sector is massively inflated by very cheap money, and we are seeing maybe the first major crack in that system. That bubble isn't tech workers fault at all, if I didn't have a learning disability that prevents me from coding I probably would have gone down that path eons ago. I would much rather my former comrades in retail be overpaid than see other workers brought down to starvation wages.

Tech entrepreneurs are not workers and I don't give two shits what happens to them.

They probably won't be out of work permanently though, right? So they've had a period of over payment and now a period of no payment. Seems like it might balance out.

Virtual Russian posted:

I do understand the animosity against tech workers though, as a whole they tend to express negative solidarity with workers. I've been told to "learn to code" many a time by some rear end in a top hat coder. When I point out I'm not capable of coding they usually double down.

lol this sounds about right.

desperately trying to make a kanban for hamburger construction progress from rows of grease stained napkins, getting overwhelmed and collapsing to the floor sobbing. the guy I replaced was fired because he wouldn't make any hamburgers without a user story first. this will have been the worst week in the 16 year old lunch manager's entire life.

It is good that this will harm tech workers because computers were a mistake and given that labour creates all things then it's the workers fault we have computers

There is an extreme difference between what you can do by yourself as a 100k+/yr salaried programmer, and what someone who washes dishes/does trade labor/whatever, who splits costs with somebody (or two somebodies!).

Like if nothing else changed except I had fixed work hours and guaranteed stable income in that range, I would effectively be in a different class than where i'm at now, yes.

you kinda suck but i'll be serious: it's unhealthy to think of politics as anything other than an abstract layer of conflict whose efficacy is entirely predicated on the ability to back something up with force, and relative to what is being done to folks just for existing, doxxing a card-carrying bartender and causing social+economic woes to them is honestly pulling your punches a bit too much from a moral perspective. it is kinder than what's deserved.

it's always okay to doxx front of house and front of house-adjacent people, hope this helps.
