Is it really unfair if such a small number of people are employed by big tech? https://www.bls.gov/emp/tables/employment-by-major-industry-sector.htm https://www.bls.gov/emp/tables/employment-by-major-industry-... How many people actually benefit from these companies? How much do statistics of tech workers vs everybody else differ?
- endisneigh 3y agoThe government has and will continue to receive tax revenue from both the companies and those who gain from the productivity in the USA. A weird take to remove the most productive industries.
- Sakos 3y agoIt's not a weird take. It can be valuable to see how a certain demographic differs from the rest and how big an outlier big tech might be in a number of ways. Do you even care about the data or are you just here to protect your weird US-based self-esteem? Why wouldn't you want to find out more? Also, how much tax revenue do these companies really pay? And what productivity benefit? It feels like now you're really reaching. What productivity benefit is there that isn't also achieved by everybody else on the planet with access to their services? Stop trying to make shit up.

- Sakos 3y agoIt's not arbitrary.
