still wild to me that there are academics who viewed the pandemic with optimism

@noelle like the kernel of truth here is that increasing pay in an attempt to lock people into shitty working conditions is a terrible arrangement and people are tired of it, and what you need to do instead is just improve working conditions (which can only really be done properly if said people have formed a union…)

and then they just completely missed the ball on what “improving working conditions” might mean (less work, more breaks, good management, PTO)

@noelle i mean it’s true, people will not leave due to pay reasons if they can’t make more anywhere else, but they also aren’t leaving for a lack of ping-pong tables

@aescling if satan is killed then that means sin originates with man
