> The theme of much of what I write... the relationship between power and powerlessness and the endless, circular conflict..
> ... my writing is.. about power. About the paranoia and ruthlessness of power. About the physics of power. I believe that the accumulation of vast unfettered power by a State or a country, a corporation or an institution – or even an individual, a spouse, a friend, a sibling – regardless of ideology, results in excesses such as the ones I will recount here.

> “There is already a massive power imbalance between workers and employers,” he continued, adding:
> > Spending billions on anti-union attorneys and consultants who deploy tactics crafted by psychologists to divide and conquer workers and to make unionization feel futile or even dangerous … that further magnifies and exploits this existing power imbalance.

Just be quiet and take the loss! You played with fire and you got burned.

So we're just supposed to skip over the fact that a fifty-something year old man was sleeping with someone who was barely 20??

Whether it was consensual or not, we don't know. What we do know is that this man is too damn old to be caught up in this type of foolishness.

@neptune22222 On a casual reading, the only thing I disagree with is the author's comically rosy view of how just and not-corrupt the legal systems of rich Western countries are. The essay's thesis remains entirely intact.
