Agreed. My industry has hugely benefited from the technological productivity boost and in response has gradually increased our working hours over the years. We usually work 60-90 hour weeks now (50 hours is the absolute minimum we ever work

A nurse is a pretty bad example to use for this. Nurses often already only work 3-4 days a week (doing 10 to 12 hour shifts). They’re already on a 4 day week (or 3 day).

I mean, Hollywood unions have been a thing since the 1930’s, pretty much since the inception of the “Talkies.” So any loss in quality that you claim will have not been due to the unions. In fact, the most likely culprit of any loss in quali

I mean, Musk is currently being sued by a bunch of his old employees for not paying them properly, so not sure if he’s the best example here. He also fired like 80% of his workforce at twitter/X so not sure how incentivized he actually

Yes, I’m sure all the artists, writers and knowledge workers are going to be soooo happy to be liberated from their work that they’ve spent a lifetime training for. Automation can be great when used to replace dangerous or back breaking wor

But historically, profit has NOT been redistributed. Why would this time be any different? The people who make the profits have the power to influence legislation to benefit themselves and keep from sharing in their profit. This is one of t

The Luddite movement came about more due to working condition concerns and factory owners skirting standard labor practices rather than an anti-tech slant. The workers just wanted safe working conditions and fair wages, not to halt progress

Are you really calling a legal strike violence? What options do the working class have left then, if even their legal rights are considered violence? This rhetoric is dangerous and completely anti-worker.

You really think that the savings will actually be passed onto the consumer rather than the company gobbling up that extra value? Also, if taxes are lowered on businesses, the tax burden will be passed to the working poor/middle class.

All the entertainment unions (IATSE, WGA, SAG, DGA, and I think even some athlete unions, etc), do not base their pay off of seniority and also don’t cap their pay. So higher skilled players can absolutely still negotiate terms and pay when

Not very covert really. A week after workers announced they were unionizing, Grindr hired lawyers who specialize in employer labor relations and what they’re calling “union avoidance” (aka union busting). And then two weeks later Grindr ann

I mean, Elon is also blaming the CCDH for his loss in advertising. He’s not exactly an unbiased source here. Just because he says it, doesn’t make it true.

I don’t think it’s in you’re head. I’ve driven across most of the U.S. and have lived in major cities that are known for their traffic/bad drivers, and Texas, by a long shot, had some of the worst drivers I’ve seen across the U.S. Same

I mean, did the tech workers even complain when those jobs went overseas? Perhaps tech workers should try to unionize then. The only reason we are even talking about this is because the actor’s and writer’s unions give them a loud enough vo

Ok, sure. And this is exactly why this rule is being put into place. So customers can see a list of fees instead of some nebulous “fee” added on that tells the consumer nothing about what they are actually paying for.

They are only being required to breakdown and include these fees if the ISPs are tacking on these fees in addition to their quoted base price that the customer was expecting to pay. If the ISPs wanted to include these fees in their base pri

I imagine that the reason car companies don’t want taxi or Uber to use self driving mode is because of liability reasons, not because they want a share of taxi companies profits. Taxi/uber drivers still have to pay for fuel/mainte
