"while the factory owners kept all profits from the gains in productivity."

Because this is what drives continual risk-capital.. very few countries are willing to upset this. Get over it man - I hate hardended capitalists but stop crying. This is the system we have. Wanna beat it? Go ahead and start a firm. Then you'll find out how tough it is.

The thing I cant get over is enough software engineering folks collectively hold immense power. Whats wrong with you lot (im not a software engineer)? Get your sht together.

P.s. Im starting a firm who's central mission is to attack capitalists (ofc I won't say it out loud in that way). I will find out for myself how much of a backbone software engineers etc have when I employ them.

You're in for a rude awakening.

Am I?

I’ve worked with them and did a comp sci degree years ago. I’ve got enough exposure.

However I want to see given what is happening in the world now - are they still weak and feeble?

Being an employer means you will find out. Employees are not weak and feeble. They quit all the time for more money elsewhere, or just don't want to work. And there's NOTHING you, as employer, can do about it.

It shows a complete lack of understanding of what these people actually do.

Nah I fully expect it.

Its like the people who say "if you automate writing code, accounting etc is done too". Like ok bro.

Yup its so dumb.

Part of the fun of holidays IS THE PROCESS OF DISCOVERY! Imagine wanting to kill that.

Business travel? Sure but Im sure solutions already exist.

Zuckerberg has ZERO vision - he has a catalogue of content he can leverage to do so much. What an abosolute bozo!
