Oh, it's worked plenty well.

It's worked well to get a lot of: "there are more pressing issues right now, let's solve this one tomorrow", where that "tomorrow" in many cases ended up being 150 years later.

Your power is the value you bring to the business, and your ability to walk away and sell your services to their competitor.

Oh sweet summer child, ever read of company towns?

This is mostly a thing of the past. Wikipedia lists about a handful of company towns left in US today.

This is the most inhumane thing I've read today. And I've read all your comments in this thread.

What is inhumane about it? I've read your other comments too, it doesn't really seem like you're arguing in good faith when you state superlatives like "this is the most inhumane thing I've read today" or "this is the worst take I've seen in forever on this topic" or "I am going to be incredibly rude now." Please make your points without resorting to such extreme language.

Extreme language does not take away from any of my points I have written an entire essay worth of points and got zero engagement on it. Why will I try to write more?
