Comment on They just formed the biggest tech worker union in the US. The plan is to take on AI and industry layoffs

I’m sorry I prevented you from getting your dopamine from reading Lefty Placating Puff Pieces by pointing out how the system is failing and everyone is allowing it. YIKES

But, at least you could get that dopamine from our interaction.

Enjoy the direction your country is going in because you allow it!

can’t appreciate people taking action against the bad shit going on because it’s all joever

also somehow “allowing” it to happen because they… encourage labor rights movements and are uplifted by good news?

Get a grip man. These kinds of pathetic outbursts do nothing except putting a damper on someone’s day, someone who’s likely already oversaturated with bad news constantly.

Appreciating and celebrating the small victories is important too, lest ye lay down and die like a dog because “there’s no point”.

  I congratulate them on their victory of unionizing their positions for the two months they have left before being laid off as part of “AI restructuring” or whatever fancy term absolves them from legal repercussions.

    Only time will tell, but for everyone’s sake I hope you’re wrong. Either way you can’t reasonably claim that workers standing up for their rights is a bad thing. Worst-case it lays the groundwork for something better adapted to a post-AI industry later on.

    I didn’t say it’s a bad thing. I said it’s useless. Unions are great, but they are no longer effective. Action is required. And if you look back six years, everything supports what I’m saying.
