i absolutely hear you on that. it just seems too hard to do that.

my solution is to make companies that are cool, fun to work at, push good values and make some money.

then use that money to push for appropriate political moves like you are saying.

how would you propose to reform the government? through voting? good effing luck. it will take $$$.

additionally, i get really annoyed with all the complaining that is done about politics. did you vote? neat, that’s the system we have. want to do something about it? make some money. that’s the system we have.

these people complaining about things instead of doing something will die complaining.

coming from a liberal that is more in the center and annoyed with my overally liberal parents.

Sometimes there just isn’t a solution or it’s not the right time. That’s what bitching is good for. Imagine being the world’s most dedicated republican in 1750s France. You could analyze the state of the world and everything required to fix it but no matter what you do there’s still decades of feudalism left and feudalism fucking sucks. That’s where we are today and these bandaid solutions like making “better” companies are like asking the King to be nicer. It changes nothing fundamentally..

Maybe your lord is a great guy and he does everything right but tomorrow his son comes into power and he could whip you. That’s what a good company is like. My new manager is an asshole who ruined my great job.

that sucks. i just quit my job cuz i was pissed about a lot.

but we can move to new feudal leaders or literally become a feudal leader ourself.

America baby!

Is it easy? nope. neither was getting a tech job or rising and surviving in it. but some of us do and some of us don’t.

anyone interested in some cold blooded american history from the mid-1800s should check out American Primeval on netflix. i really enjoyed it. it is a bit graphic.
