What the hell went on over there? I thought Denmark (of which Greenland is part) was supposed to be one of the happiest places on earth. But it going cashless and now this, it looks to me more like a scene of Brave New World.

Finetuned permissions cost to implement. GitHub doesn't have them (maybe we wouldn't have seen this post if it had). Therefore if you want them, pay up or do it yourself.

In a small business, maybe you're the only person doing <critical task X>. This is a more level playing field, but maybe a union is still useful here also.
