Example 7436828 that wages aren't related to how much you're making the company.
they are related in that they will always be less than how much youre making the company
No literally. Almost all the big tech firms have permanent stay at home offers. You think Facebook isn’t salivating at the chance to to pay and hire engineers on Idaho CoL rates? Being in tech I already know I’ll be home for at least another year.
The only silver lining that can bring is the fact that the jobs have base skill read that bring good salaries, which could provide more wealth injection beyond the major cities. But I’m sure they’ll find a way to fuck that up.
Yeah, tech has always been right at the front of circumventing labor law.
The destruction of programmer salaries was inevitable, but it's gonna come much faster now. much much faster.
I've read a few copies of that stupid magazine and couldn't figure out if they are supposed to be neocons or neolibs, or both (fuck it, they're quite similar anyway).
Neocon and neolib are not mutually exclusive. In fact they usually come together. Some people seem to think neolib means liberal as it is used in the US (socially progressive moderate), but that's not what it means. And neocons are basically just rabid pro intervention war hawks.
The way to remember the difference is that Reagan was the arch-neolib.
Neoconservatism is simply the foreign policy camapgin of neoliberalism.
Lenin called them "a journal that speaks for the British millionaires" and tbh that sounds about right to me

This has another benefit -- increase the rural residents.
The bourgeoisie has taken notice of the left and its strength in cities while rural residents have clearly become divided and sided with the boug. Convincing businesses to do this is part of a grander scheme to change the material conditions.
Rationale is that they are now competing on a more global market, increasing labour supply. Which is true in a sense, but I imagine their dream is they don't have to pay silicon valley developers as much, but the pretense there was already that they were at the top of their field and their relocation and visa costs were covered. Certainly the ones working at Google, Facebook, et al. earn their salary more for the sake of not working for a company that could in any way threaten the near monopoly powers of the big tech firms. It's probably going to disproportionately hit more working class office jobs which the market is saturated with applicants, but most applicants come in with a lower bar of literal survival the employer had to meet, so secretaries, HR people, (maybe?) bookkeepers, and others who are "lower" skill but important to the functioning of an office.
