- Swizec 4y agoMy understanding is that the "social contract" inside many of these large companies is quite cushy. Especially in USA where being employed comes with services traditionally provided by the state like health care, child care, free or subsidized food, retirement benefits, etc.
- whateveracct 4y agoIt's not especially comparable to what an actual government has to deal with though. It's superficially similar I guess.
