Comment on Intel introduces its newest employee, Chip the robotic inspector, just after announcing mass human layoffs

This is the first post you haven’t been praising the 1950s as a better time for workers.

Isn’t at all, but you’re reading whatever you want into my posts. So keep on keeping on. 👍

I get that you recently read some Marx or some shit, but corporations aren’t just capitalism. They have charters. They were put into existence via law. It is possible to still be “under capitalism” and restructure the laws. Full on gay space communism isn’t required to make any progress on any issue.

Do I need to quote you back to yourself? Okay, these are your words:

“If you look at what many consider to be the golden age of American corporations after the second world war, the notion of a ‘company man’ was a celebrated one”

“but it’s worse now than it was in the – what I’m now calling the first – gilded age.”

I think we’ve hit the end of productive conversation between the two of us on this subject. I appreciate your conversation up to now. You’re welcome to keep going, but I won’t be responding on this thread anymore. I hope you have a great day!

  Emphasis mine
  
  I didn’t even say I consider it a golden age, because I don’t.
  
  but it’s worse now than it was in the – what I’m now calling the first – gilded age.
  
  The gilded age was not in the 1950s. Also, gilded age doesn’t mean golden age.

  Agree. Maybe next time read and comprehend some of the responses?
