    Many years ago. But as you said, it’s a big industry, and the US is not an easy place to unionize in.

        The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time to plant a tree is right now.

        But I don’t think that advice includes people staring at a fast approaching wildfire…

          Funny thing about wildfires: the ashes allow a new generation of flora to take root. It will suck for us, but the children of tomorrow might have unions, vacations, and universal healthcare by default.

          I can dream of a future, even if it won’t be mine to enjoy.

            That’s how I feel when I watch Star Trek. I won’t be alive to see the Phoenix warp into space but I’m hopeful future generations get there.

      Yes, but there are also European developers. Such as Ubisoft, which previously had major issues with harassment, and probably still does. If they have a union, it certainly isn’t a powerful one.

        The French trade union Solidaires Informatique has pursued both criminal and civil charges. Not sure how much that accomplished, but at the very least a bunch of assholes were fired or resigned, so they weren’t completely ineffective.
