I see some issues with this frame: US jobs are also sustaining families and communities there. People earning a living is a good thing, and falling for us/them dichotomies is pushing a protectionist agenda.
Let's see how workers can be freed from alienating work aiding big tech/money everywhere on the globe!

@Wtebbens "combining #commons with #cooperativism and free/libre open source as a precondition" Sounds really good for all humans 🙂 @DigitalCoup @andreas @ela

@douwe absolutely, but in the US many communities and networks are also working on this transition. Just one example are the fine folks of #ResistTechMonopolies @rtm in Seattle. They are a group of former bigtech workers organising knowledge sharing, #DiscoTech to discover the ethical tech alternatives and participating in the @coopcloud federation. They are in the process to set up a multistakeholder cooperative, combining these three traditions. And of course our friends at @mayfirst who need no introduction here.
