@CoralineAda@ruby.social It's not that easy, leftists calls to "just unionize bro" are out of touch as neoliberals who suggests to unhoused people to "just get a place to live". Unions may work if workers have some bargaining power but when that work become mostly automatized that bargaining power disappears, an historical example are elevator drivers. The fact that tech workers aren't even essential workers as truck drivers or nurses are further weakens any effort to unionize. Growing up I saw automotive workers in my country doing countless strikes and protests and ending up laid off anyways. I saw my teachers striking too getting very little out of it. So excuse me if I don't want to waste my time with that, to me strike and unions are a toll who became less and less useful in the last 50 years, we can discuss what brought us to this situation but in the meantime we can just play with the cards we get dealt.
