I'm not sure whey you're getting down voted. Everything you said contributes to wage problems.

  Many people have been convinced that the labour movement is evil. Including those that would benefit from being unionized. Actually, especially those who would benefit.

    You’ll always get a handful of downvotes here by mentioning anything positive about organized labor or use the U-word. It’s as reliable as the sun. Best not to sweat it.

      It’s time based. If I say anything about it it will be upvoted in European hours and downvoted as soon as the West Coast comes online.

  There are some that visit HN that are highly paid and often of a different class in society. There's a remarkable lack of sympathy displayed by some small subset of HN readers towards those less fortunate. At least in American society, classism is a huge issue and prevents a lot of good being done in the world. > Poor? it's simple, just get an ivy league degree in engineering and get hired at [insert big tech company here]

    I would wager there are just as many on HN in the "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" camp. They side against pro-labour practices, using many of the same arguments made by rich industrialists, because they feel it's only a matter of time before they themselves reach the top of the heap.
