Comment on The proletarianization of tech workers

  Jesus Christ, I just the capitalists are still winning. Keep us fighting amongst ourselves so we never unite. What, exactly, would convince you to have solidarity with a person able to save 3k a year? To quit and work for less? To donate all non-living expenses to charity until their QOL is on par with yours?

  Seriously though, there is no reason why labor at all levels can’t work together to improve the system and demand better treatment across the board.

    I hope the capitalists will always be winning. Capitalism is awesome.

    Also the person you’re talking about saved that money and invested it, making them a capitalist.

    Class solidarity is nonsense.

      Apologies, I didn’t realize that your goal was to promote capitalism and defeat class solidarity.

        Can’t defeat something that isn’t real.

        I love that you googled this without knowing I’ve literally started my own business.

        That doesn’t change the fact that the overwhelming majority of businesses involve both startup costs and the reality that, on average, businesses do not turn a profit for 2-3 years.

        Just really stellar posting my dude.

  You know it’s not terribly difficult to save a couple hundred a month so long as you’re not making minimum wage and budget for it
