        As a top quint techy in AI I want basic income 'cause I feel kind of guilty about the jobs I'm destroying. So, I guess (a) is closest.

        "keep the lower classes comfortable enough not to rise up and wreck everything" is an elite opinion with a strong pedigree

        I'm not top quintile income... but I'm a tech worker and I'm pro unionisation.

        Tech workers might have a lot of money... but they still have a load less power than the cos they work for.

        Yeah, there's others out there with even less... but I see more ways tech worker unionisation helps them than hurts them.

        And neither has much power or money compared to the tech cos themselves. So why snipe?

        if I were working class and marxist I would be enraged by the idea of the upper middle appropriating our politics to enrich themselves

        I think the reasons you're not a Marxist are probably related to the reasons you'd be enraged!

        Right. As "Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle" taught us, tech workers should be GRATEFUL to spend weekends performing dudebros' shitwork.

        many tech workers still assume employers have Scrooge McDuck swimming pools of cash they can grab via unionisation

        I dunno the idea of SF tech workers striking in solidarity with e.g. plumbers like it's the 60s again seems pretty powerful imo?
