I appreciate you taking time to reply to the thread.
I’m still struggling to understand the logic whereby tech workers, being overpaid relative to those other industries (so much so that there’s a brisk business and a lot of interest in bootcamps and tech training), are unfairly affected by this system and should unionize.
I think it’s amazing that we’re increasing the talent pool, diversity, and technical literacy of the American workforce. I think it’s remarkable that the barriers to entry into the space are so low, and the potential for improvement so high. I think the opportunity boundary for technological innovation is broad, and the barriers to entry similarly low, that the best possible answer to the current situation to drive even more money to even more people is to keep innovating, keep creating tech businesses, and keep pulling in and expanding that talent pool.
Which, perhaps, will in turn start applying sufficient scarcity effects on nursing, service workers, and so forth that wages inevitably increase there and/or the threshold gets met for tech innovation in those spaces to even further lift the bar for what we can all benefit from in those aspects of our lives.
Saying tech workers are underpaid when there are so many people making bananas levels of income relative to those other economic sectors is tonedeaf af, imo. What am I missing?
