Lol. The system is set up so that (few) workers will have the leverage to charge double…

Hey Sam, just so you know, if I do get laid off, I am going to charge at LEAST double when some of these assholes need to hire me back to fix the AI generated disaster they’re struggling to keep running while bleeding money. So thanks you in advance, I guess.

That’s true, but they can still charge double by taking longer to fix the problem.
There’s going to be a lot of “# decrement this wait counter every time the boss demands a performance improvement” code in the near future.
Open class warfare isn’t a sustainable way to build infrastructure.
We’re on track to reach a point where nothing produced by the FANG companies works at all.

Double??? Fuck that. Charge 10x as much. These rich assholes pay pennies while hoarding billions. Don’t feel bad for them when you need to clean up THEIR mess. I usually want everyone to feel empathy, but in this case, I’ll make an exception. Have no empathy for billionaires. Their GOAL is to make you suffer. Milk their bank account dry.

Unfortunately, the way they function is not to ever go down in value unless it results in hoarding even more cash. At this point, we know the problem is functionally parasitoidal and entirely unacceptable. Also unfortunately for us, it’s both the actors and the systems of ideas and values.
Don’t milk their accounts by charging them more, we must overcome their rhetoric through intelligence and wisdom, and do so whilst bearing the brunt of the very effects of being possessed by the creatures and values, and then redistribute their money back to the correct places in society that it would have been, had this disease not taken root in the first place, using said developed empathy, wisdom, intelligence, and logistics to expell them.
The reason DEI and trans people stuff is such a threat is because those maturations of society touched on the very nerves of them to begin with. Equality, compassion, justice, logic, and tearing down the hypnotizing fences that they’ve been herding and corralling us into serving their flawed and violent worldviews.
We are the slaves building the pyramids, we could be free and healthy, but instead we become satisfyingly vengeful over fantasies over charging a billionaire an extra zero to serve him. This is not the way.
Do not become the oppressor. Do not build the Torment Nexus for any price. These are the dark ways that lead to imprinting values and shame and goals onto society and result in positions like the CEO of a publicly traded company serving shareholders becoming a billionaire. Do not build the Torment Nexus. Do not build the Torment Nexus.
Holy shit. Stop building the Torment Nexus.
There are other ways to make your life better and making actual cool shit. Like infrastructure and entertainment and medicine and tasty heathy food and things that actually make people’s lives better.
I write this as a response to your comment, but we’re both well aware that I’m writing this to anybody who will read it. I really hope that the understanding of what we should focus on isn’t personal enrichment to save one’s own ass. That’s okay, you still have to put your own mask on, but the much higher priority is to stop these madmen from destroying society from their high seats and dark towers out of sight. The system’s chokehold on ourselves to continue to only serve the masters to survive is strong, but we must not lose sight or the hope of the true goals of ridding ourselves of these parasites and the ideas they personify.
Cheers, gesundheit, godzilla.

The best scene in one of the cube movies is when one of the characters admits he thoughtlessly helped build the thing.
