I was talking with my step-brother (far-left tech IPO in NYC) the other day about cooking and something he mentioned caught me by surprise. He was talking about cooking and how this new channel had picked up a bunch of chefs who were racially discriminated against by Delish? and we’re getting paid far less than their peers. So they switched over and made their own program that had been doing well. The baseline of this is of course that is good because if they can do better elsewhere they should. However what struck me as odd is that the accused channel is far left, in fact it would be hard to find any large cooking channel that isn’t pro whatever wokeness is currently on display.
This discussion triggered a realization in the mentality of the far-left, their projection on who they view as lessers (conservatives) is not directed by the actions of conservatives but by the actions of who they consider similar. So if a far left supporting business is caught having rampant racism or sexism their immediate reaction is how much worse conservatives must be. This is amplified by the fact that liberals often do not understand why conservatives value what they value, they only understand what they are told they value by other liberals.
I love your point that the people who were unhappy with what they were doing and where they were working chose to leave and take their talents elsewhere. More people should do this, putting their money where their mouth is if they don't feel fairly compensated. Of course, often times the "unfair stealing bosses" provide something useful, be it money and supplies, experience, and favorable ability to market what they do. But if these chefs are willing to buy their own gear and edit their own videos at their own risk as opposed to a more consistent, but lesser peak rate of profit, power to them.
Exactly, I have not reason to be mad at a group of people striking out on their own, especially if they are getting fucked over, that’s the beauty of free market enterprise.
