...let's also not forget that Google didn't manufacture this opportunity in a vacuum. It cost the rest of society a lot more than their revenue to make it possible for them to employ people who can spend their entire days working on software.
- rmbyrro 2y agoDidn't it cost society to raise us to adulthood so that we can work for Google and other businesses? How many people have sacrificed their time and attention, directly or indirectly, to our benefit, since we were born? Yet, nobody's saying our salaries aren't deserved or the merit of our own efforts.
