    I am furious. Though I try not to humour conspiracy theories, or suggest that there is any grand overture to what is usually an uncaring and cold world, but I cannot ignore what is a transparently-synchronized movement against the tech industry’s workforce.

    Remember a few years back when all the tech firms got caught red-handed running an illegal wage-fixing cartel to suppress wages and black-ball people to tried to switch jobs for better pay? It’s amazing how fast society forgets this stuff.

      Or all those bullshit magnet schools that Gates and the rest of the Technolords forced on the US so they could proletarianize coding and crush the organizing power of tech workers by massively expanding the labor force.

      Is it really a conspiracy when they do it right out in the open?
