Google is laying off more employees and hiring for their roles outside of the U.S.

    That being said, software engineers EVERYWHERE are earning “a living wage” at least. We are way overpaid, in fact, compared to social workers or teachers. A company with hundreds of thousands of employees relocating some positions to other countries is just mundane.

    Who said violence and class warfare can’t be mundane in practice?

    We are way overpaid

    No y’all aren’t, the problem is rather that everybody else is way underpaid

      That’s the same thing, I explicitly compared it to other people. It’s relative.

        That’s the same thing

        Please please please open your heart and listen to me a second.

        It is not the same thing. There is a lot of research on this and it turns out it is not as simple as one person winning means another person losing (or 5…). The reason the world is currently set up this way is a choice made by an economic class of people to mortgage the entire future of another economic class of people, into a doomed construction of decay that can only ever collapse in flames.

        That is the crux of literally this whole miserable slush of suffering we are in.

        The only truly zero sum game here is between the ruling class getting to own everything and the rest of us getting to live a decent quality of life.

        If you don’t listen to anything else I say, fine, I mean I can be insufferable as fuck, but consider the truths in that point alone outside the context of my nonsense.
