Amalgamated Knowledge Workers
Open Left:: Geez (wondering why Larry Lessig doesn’t support the auto bailout):
I just don’t get this amazing lack of sympathy for working people, or perhaps, the naivete at how politics actually works. Why a $700B bailout for bankers, which produce no obvious product, and not a $14B bridge loan for people that actually make automobiles? No particular reason. Oh, and the market shall provide. It’s really a really remarkable sentiment in this day and age, a sort of tenured ‘let them eat cake’.
Just ask yourself this: which union do most software developers and Internet entrepreneurs belong to? Go ahead, I’ll wait.
Now do you get it?
