The best corporations are heartless machines (in this case this applies to the contractors primarily, not sure if FB would mind if the work is getting done). We should be thankful for the jobs that we have today. Corporations of the future will not need as many warm bodies. (Sarcasm)

What the heck kind of take is that? We should be fighting tooth and nail today to not let that kind of future come into existence.

  Some of us have tried for decades. But people like cheap/free stuff and don't care what happens behind the curtain for the most part.

    And many people matching that description are also running corporations. And the wheel turns.

  Agreed. I was being sarcastic. We should be striving for better working conditions.

  We should, but we are not doing that. We have been cleverly manipulated to care more about what a soon-to-be-ex president said or didnt say or how many genders actually exist. You can protest against everything except those things that are against the interests of the rich and powerful. The protests are channel to serve their interests, not the other way around. Dont believe me? Just a sample: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&geo=US&q=BLM https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&ge...

I'm glad that you don't have a time machine. So you can't back and persuade those who worked 16-hour days in unsafe conditions that they should be thankful for the jobs they had then.

What's interesting is that Facebook, like Google, and other similar companies, are absolutely the best places to work at with the way they treat their employees, the benefits, etc. So now imagine how most companies treat their employees...

  They’re not employees, they’re often contractors. I think that’s the point.
