Knowledge workers and all workers need to unionize, stop work, and/or resign to form worker-owned co-ops to stop being abused with dehumanized treatment as disposable, interchangeable cogs for corporate greed. Stop allowing themselves to be pushed around.

Unionization worked right up until 1981 and it doesn't work anymore. Its time people stop pushing bad advice.

The government came up with a plan to destroy unions that corporate America has used ever since with Reagan v. PATCO.

I agree the trends towards workers need to stop, but this is not the way.

Why is collective negotiation "bad advice"? You're completely dismissive to workers' rights and the only language corporate owners understand.

> I agree the trends towards workers need to stop, but this is not the way.

So what's your magic "the" answer?

There is no "magic" answer in this environment because our hands as individuals are tied.

If we had a functional rule of law, and a functional government capable of enforcing antitrust, and a functional fed not intent on money-printing us into oblivion, then it would simply be a matter of aligning and fine-tuning the incentives.

We have none of those, and those must necessarily come first.

Anything that doesn't put those first, isn't a solution, and is just a waste of everyone's time.
