Looks like it’s my turn to wear the tinfoil hat…

There’s a concerted PR campaign to push the “tech workers do nothing” meme for two reasons: - justify layoffs that are pushed by activist investors - union busting (as in “why would these lazy so-and-so’s need a union?”)

On the latter, the fallout from things like the firing of Timnit Gebru and other incidents alarmed a lot of board members. This is part of that fallout.

“He takes off his tinfoil hat…”
