google activists — the wealthiest, most coddled workers in history — appropriating the language of oppressed, midcentury coal miners has been the biggest LOL of 2019https://twitter.com/oliviasolon/status/1201882118411952139 …

~ the workers ~ didn’t build google. two guys in a lab at stanford built google. tech is incomparable to any industry of the last 200 years. applying the tactics and language from those earlier unions to our current reality is clownish and insulting.pic.twitter.com/G0nZ1hf7Y6

Who can name another industry that gives employees as much ownership as tech startups?

Google is way more than just search now and that algorithm doesn't even get used anymore.

Oh man, that poor neglected Googler. I think everyone in America can relate to his struggle. Omfg, really? These folks are so detached from reality. I'm willing to bet he's made a million dollars working at Google -- much like 20th century coal miners of West Virginia.

This is ridiculous. I was there and while Larry and Sergey are smart guys, almost none of what made Google successful was built in a lab at Stanford.

Understanding this point would allow them to make such strong arguments. Imagine a rival worth taking seriously. But, they will probably just double down.

Isn't "build" different from "invent"? Teams build, persons invent. Google would have never become Google had Larry and Sergey been the only two employees of Google.

"invented" would be a better word. Google wouldn't be even close tho what it is today without several dozen key technical talent in subsequent years
