I just don’t get what the end game is for this. Let’s say all of gen Z quits tomorrow over this. All of tech will simply move to Brazil, Eastern Europe, and India.
Since there’s really no social safety net, and we don’t give a fuck about the homeless…they do what exactly?
For example…the fortune 50 I worked at for a while has enough money to stop selling all their products and still be solvent for about a century at their current spend.
If they faced a general strike, they can hold out for generations. How long can the average American hold out for?
This general audience of this site feels like 15-25…they don’t realize the kind of power the big players have.
This is a step towards humanizing workers, legitimizing their concerns, and building solidarity so people are closer to being on the same page and might maybe agree that something needs to be done. Probably not from this cultural moment, but if enough of them like this happen in succession and get enough attention, then something could change. If you want to discuss parallel economies and mutual aid networks, that’s a whole other discussion.

You can’t make a stand and ignore the realities of the world around you. Competition for work is a very valid concern if you’re about to strike.
