Apple closes 3 US stores, including its first to unionize

The three shuttered US Apple stores include the first to unionize -- prompting backlash from the union. A court case could loom.

#Capitalists don't want you to have #kids.

They don't want you leaving #work to take care of a #baby. They don't want you demanding enough of a #wage to pay for #food and #water for someone too #young to work.

You're not "expanding the #workforce" either, since #machines can do most #jobs more productively anyway (not higher quality, but for more #profit and they don't #unionize). And most capitalists are #old and don't expect to be alive when a baby born today is old enough to work.

Yet the #gamesindustry is not dying, it is being killed. By a managerial class that treats #gamedev.s not as creatives or even assets, but merely as a financial liability. Their actions undermine not only the future of their own business, but of games as a viable career path.

It is high time to #unionize and fight back, because otherwise in a few years only AI slop filled to the brim with microtransactions will be the only "games" left.

The answer is #unions

The video is hilarious and informative though.

Today Mar 25 is anniv of Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. Greenwich Village, now a part of NYU, building is Nat'l Landmark. 146 died bc stairwells were locked, more fire escapes never built. Owners never saw jail, civil suit took $74 per dead employee but owners still profited $64K of insurance.
1911-13, the new Factory Safety Commission created 60 new NY laws to protect workers, improve conditions. 6-day workweek, 52 hours at $5-8.65/ hour adjusted to 2025 $$.

Companies demanding programmers use LLMs in their work is the logical dystopian endgame of techworkers failing to #unionize
