@paulg It’s the non-tech gig-economy peons that are getting exploited. Driven an Uber lately?

@timbray The real ideologues believe startups exploit all their employees. That's who I'm talking about here. -
@paulg You're more interesting when you're not emitting conventional lightweight right-wing sound bites. -
@timbray The underlying point is important. The test of ideologues is when they believe contradictory things. True on both left and right.

@paulg It is possible to be both exploited and overpaid. Exploitation is about respect and power, not just remuneration. -
@dbentley Possible in theory but in my experience rare in practice. -
@paulg Yup. This is a view that you disagree with, but is at least internally consistent. So, y'know, it has that going for it.

@paulg Think the more general perception is startups exploiting the automatron class. Not the programmers/designers turning them into an API - 1 more reply

@paulg might be some, more likely we're conflating different opinions into a single sum of many that we attribute to an imaginary entity -
@paulg in particular problematic when dividing the world in limited buckets like left and right. Seems like a common pitfall. - 1 more reply
