Unfortunately, that's just not true. The vast mahority of people on lower income cannot aford to be choosy with who they work for. A great many higher earning software developers (HN's usual market) are in the same position.

I agree that encouraging the few people who can afford the luxury of being choosy to vote with their feet is a good thing, but don't assume everyone has that same "primary power".
