    Infuriated by what just happened w/ DNAinfo & Gothamist. They unionized so the asshole billionaire who owned the company shut them down.

        How am I wrong? I'm a freelance writer. I see journalism dying all around me. There's other factors too, but being anti-union is a big one.

        It was sarcasm. Chill. It’s a common mindset of billionaires who run businesses though.
