That'd be all very reasonable if we lived in a world where Apple and Google weren't colluding to keep wages down.

- tomlock 8y agoSo you both think people are being paid reasonably and that Google and Apple are colluding with one another.
- AnthonyMouse 8y ago1) The collusion has presumably stopped now that they're caught. 2) It is possible for both to be true at the same time, because the industry is much larger than Apple, Google, Intel and Adobe. Even if they didn't compete with each other, they still have to outbid Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, etc. -- and pay enough to prevent the workers leaving to found their own companies. It's not unreasonable to expect that the effect on wages was marginal even when it was occurring.
- tomlock 8y agoYou're having to make a lot of presumptions to have to believe these employees are being paid fairly.
