If there are 10 remote labor contractors waiting for every quitter (equivalent to a strike breaker "scab") how is google hurt at all?

There are many kinds of " strike" and they require planning and thought.

Here's a quick link I quacked:

Ineffective action doesn't multiply into effective action.

Gesture based political action has the same problem of terrorism, which is also ineffective, almost certainly for many of the same reasons

Effective action can be had but it requires coordination leadership, strategic thinking - one off or wildcat action may politicize people towards effective action but alone is (sorry to say) pointless

You’re right, the USA didn’t dramatically change after 9/11. We citizens didn’t almost instantly lose tons of rights that still have not been returned and the world didn’t descend into a years long war.

The Unabomber wanted to end "technological society " but he did manage to improve postal safety standards. Mission accomplished?

If the goal of the 9/11 hijackers was to improve airport security then mission accomplished! But I think their goal was something else.

Clearly you don't read too well

>But I think their goal was something else.

What do you think it was? Because it did far far more negative than just “improve” airport security.

It doesn't matter- they failed to punish the US, stop supporting Israel, or withdraw from the middle east or whatever their goals were.

Terrorism fails but I never said it was "without effect". Vegans boycotting milk hasn't saved any " enslaved cows" but it has given birth to a robust soy and oatmilk industry

But no cows have been released from their oppression. Not a one

So just to be clear, it’s not effective, but you can’t say at what, but the world is a much different, much worse place, millions are dead as a direct result of terrorism, but it doesn’t matter?

I don’t think this is a fruitful thread.
