      Techies vs. elites would be an awesome frame if the people in the tech industry were offering us a realistic way forward that didn’t just reinforce elites and tear down the few mechanisms we had to oppose them.

      No, I know 😔 I guess the core problem is just the absolute state of our elites and I don't know how to fix this How do you get back to Cincinnatus after your system produces a Commodus?

      You have to grapple with the idea that some of the ideas that made you rich also produced our current moment. And I see absolutely no sign of that grappling.

      Are you suggesting that Instacart hollowed out the CDC

      No, but FB and Goog definitely hollowed out the media industry. They were ad monopolists before, and all of a sudden had to compete with data-rich behemoths

      imo the failure of media has led to a cascade of other failures

      On top of that, compare Instacart to WebVan in terms of how they treat their employees. As a techie, I think large portions of tech need to admit that we've underinvested in actual labor-saving technology and over-invested in wage-suppression technology.

      Labor saving technology = states mandating that Amazon maintain its allegedly abused workforce instead of letting them go to seek the greener pastures of whatever they were doing (e.g., meth) before the Amazon warehouse got built in their town

      i'm largely unsympathetic to complaints about the gig economy b.c. they usually display a total misunderstanding of supply and demand.

      I'm sympathetic because as a way of life it maybe fucking sucks. Uncertain about this but it seems just so precarious. Just don't know the solution there, either.

          low wage workers had precarious lives even before the rise of the gig economy. it's mostly a headfake to shift blame onto tech companies somehow. imo important steps are to decouple healthcare from employment (1) and have a robust welfare state (2)

          if you ever browse the uber driver subreddits they all hate the AB5 stuff. they'd rather be considered contractors than employees due to the freedom it gives them.
