Stop working for tech companies that don't give a shit about you. You want a business that cares about you... start one.
Companies will never give a shit about you, put them in a box like you would a shark. Don't play by existing broken rules, you will just suffer.
My biggest gripe with unions is they’re the political version of “let’s make a new standard”. Yeah it works - for a time - but ultimately just adds complexity to temporarily address a symptom of the problem.
Certainly, a long term fix that will take decades. Near term, gotta organize, which can be done today. And workers need help today.
Not in America. The essentials of our representative republic make it not especially representative. It's badly in need of reform to make the legislature actually representative: much larger house of representatives, 3-5 member districts, ranked choice voting, 18 year terms for supreme court justices, etc. etc.
Unions, imperfect as they are, can be far more directly representative.

Anyway, plenty of people start businesses and lose their life savings. I’ve seen it happen.
