Um, with polite response: a lot of these points are ethically dubious and at best say “they’re well paid, so they don’t really count”. At one point it says one can marry to get out of their indentured servitude, which… yikes, dude, imagine what a dangerous position that puts someone in if they can’t divorce a potentially dangerous relationship for fear of deportation.
- busterarm 4y agoDon't be ridiculous. The overwhelming majority of people are going to get married. More than 40% of them to someone they meet at work. That's just life. Stop interpreting things the most hyperbolic way possible. Basic statistical facts paint quite a different picture than you are.
- SamoyedFurFluff 4y agoI’m not saying that marriage itself is bad, I’m saying that being in a marriage where you cannot freely leave isn’t an alternative to a job you cannot freely leave, which is an exploitation of labor that’s over represented in tech, in response to a poster who questions why tech should be trying to defend their labor. In none of your points have you reasonably addressed the original concern, which is that exploitation of labor does exist in tech, except to argue that it’s okay because of money, or they can enter a marriage that they cannot freely leave without also risking their immigration status and that’s somehow not a concern.
