I could do that.

And, at the same time, my fellow techies in any given megacorp (I'm not in one now, used to be long ago) can start organizing and negotiating together, to establish better working conditions, better pay, more autonomy, more of a say in how the company is run.

This isn't an either/or situation.

Right?? Why do you think I'm writing about how much better we could make our working conditions, if we organized and negotiated together?

These ideas and methods aren't new (organizing and negotiating together), and they've been largely effective in this country and elsewhere.

And, hey, like I said to the other person, you don't have to do it, if you're happy with the crumbs the owners toss your way. You do you.

For the rest of us, we don't have to be content with our lot in life--we can be the change we wish to see. Good quote!
