      Anyone who genuinely went into programming to make a living after laughing at factory workers for no longer being able to make a living deserves everything that happened to them after what happened to the factory workers literally happened to them as soon as they got in.

      “But nobody I know is like that” You wouldn’t believe how many smug ass libertarians were acting like they were going to get a high-paying job unlike those stupid wagies who wasted their life going down a career path that went overseas, assuming it would never happen to them.
