Fascinating discussion and rather ironic. There are people at tech companies that object to people that don’t have kids being forced to effectively subsidize other people who “aren’t pulling their weight.”
And yet the majority of people at those companies vote for leftist economic policies that do that very same thing.
- alibarber 6y agoIt's not really related, and I'm sure that the majority do. However I do wonder sometimes, everyone is keen to loudly declare their love and support for the 'correct' party when around others in a hyper liberal workplace - but in the privacy of the voting booth it might not be the same, and that is the place it matters most. (I'm stating this based off of my experience in the UK only)
- ginko 6y agoThe difference is that on the country level, subsidizing families to have children is arguably in the interest of the state. That's not the case on the company level.
- briandear 6y agoAnd the difference is that if you don’t like a policy at a company, you don’t have to work there. A bit harder to escape a country. But most often in these cases, people want benefits but they want someone else to pay for them.
- pbourke 6y ago> And yet the majority of people at those companies vote for leftist economic policies that do that very same thing. And you’ve decided that the people complaining about the new corporate policies are the same that vote for leftist economic policies, rather than the minority who you claim don’t support them?
