Could not agree with you more. Best time for our industry to get serious about unionization was probably after the .com bubble burst. We could have leveraged the degree to which our skills were needed in that era and headed off a lot of today’s problems if we had strong unions in place, but sadly it’s still probably one of the lowest density sectors for organized labor. Now would be a good time to start pulling heads out of asses. I think many of our brothers and sisters in tech are starting to wake up to reality now that we’re in our 5th-6th straight year of widespread layoffs for “reasons.”

It can start with honest and direct 1on1 convos in order to thwart groupthink nonsense, and build on things from there. A simple organizing committee is a great first step.

I love writing code!

peace to you too fellow person of internet

Israelis sure love killing journalists.

Fun comparison to Russia:

As of April 2026, at least 147 media workers have been killed by the Russian Federation in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion in February 2022, according to the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine. The fatalities include 21 journalists killed while performing their duties, 10 killed as civilians, and 116 killed while in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

According to preliminary investigations by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) as of April 9, 2026, at least 261 journalists and media workers have been killed in the conflict. The vast majority were killed by the Israeli military in Gaza, with fatalities also reported in Lebanon

This is the deadliest conflict on record for journalists, ever. And since 2025, Israel has been responsible for 2/3 of all journalist killings.

Israelis are absolute monsters, and they won’t hesitate to murder you if you try speak up about it.

We’re spending about that much per day right now pissing away western hegemony in Iran. pity, that money could do so much more good as UBI.

In fact, I’d argue we should increase federal income taxes on the billionaires to 80%, then use the proceeds to give every US citizen free healthcare, and outlaw homelessness by building public housing to place them in if someone needs/wants it.

If billionaires such as this guy don’t like that, I’m sure the good people of Uganda would gladly take them in considering the great value they add to a society.

This is true, if you look up confirmed convictions related to voter fraud, it’s literally always Repugs.

What these CEOs haven’t considered is the massive impact to the bottom line if they leveraged AI to replace C-suite workers. Remember, AI has no need for ever increasing multi-million dollar bonuses or golden parachute exit packages. It’s also perfectly suited to perform well in those roles.

This guy is clearly an antisemite - doesn’t he know Israelis were promised this genocide 3000 years ago?! It’s their ancestral heritage to headshot those children!

Well said, and thanks for including some examples at the end!

Many companies are tying monitored AI usage to performance evaluations. So yeah, we’re going to be ”willing” under that pretext.

Finding one senior dev who is willing to debug a multi-thousand line application produced by genAI…they’re going to be reluctant, at best, because the code is slop.

MBAs and C-suites keep trying to manufacture consent for this tech so their stock portfolios outperform, and the madmen are willing to sacrifice your jobs to do it!

It wasn’t 10 years ago we had so much surplus ram it was practically free. Dafuq, AI slop generators ruining the planet.

Get homewrecked bozo

Been saying this for years - a new party is the only way out of this mess. DNC are conservatives, they’re never going to help us when their alternative is cashing checks for millions of dollars from their donors.

Who are they gonna run. Fetterman?

Please, for god’s sake, don’t give them any ideas!

right?.. just a DMT vape huh?

I don’t disagree, but liberals are blaming protest voters for Kamala’s loss to this day (despite the fact she lost by a far wider margin). The establishment can and will weaponize this form of pressure to further fragment the voting base.

Came here to say this…it’s way more than 7.

Are you me? Love you internet bro <3

Investing millions in main st businesses

Obviously a commercial real estate investor, weak gaslighting attempt though.

She knows those who schlepped into offices before Covid realize how much better remote is for everyone, so tries to target kids who are fresh out of school and didn’t necessarily experience that dichotomy.

Omega OOF

Doubt he spends much time there, it’s just a legal residence.
