"we need to open our eyes to the fact that the current industry many of us work in, not only doesn’t care about their workers, it actively resents them. In their eyes, we have gone from being the people who made things possible, to an unnecessary burden on the bottom line.
They hate that we charge money for our labor, and see that money as something we are stealing from their pockets."

"When 4,000 people lose their livelihood, their ability to pay their rent, their ability to go to the doctor, their ability to look out for their children, and the system that we live under cheers that on… That system needs to be destroyed"

I think one of the most pernicious things is that they don't even have to hate it. Hate feels bad to most people, so we built a system that abstracts mean decisions into a million pieces that no one has to fully feel, most of all the shareholders, who can, for the most part, make money without even thinking of how what they "own" works for even a moment.
Changing the system would be easier if people actually had to maintain a head full of hate to benefit from the system. They don't.
Thanks for this. People need to hear this:
"I’ll say it again: It’s not your fault, and there is nothing you could’ve done differently to change the outcome."
