And the way I think about that is if you didn’t fight for it, you don’t really have it. If you didn’t fight for this #power, if you didn’t fight for this wealth, you don’t really have it, and it can be taken away from you just like that.” I really recommend you listen to this great conversation between #WendyLiu and @parismarx on #privilege, #unionization, #meritocracy and time well spent! https://techwontsave.us/episode/146_tech_billionaires_are_coming_for_workers_w_wendy_liu/

"#ParisMarx is joined by #WendyLiu to discuss what it was like to work in #tech in the 2010s and why structural changes in the industry are empowering an increasingly reactionary capitalist class to strike back at workers and upend the expectations of the boom period."
