My guess is, TCI is the outside meanie brought in to take the blame for something the Google higher ups planned to do anyway.

@peatbog Yeah. I just wish we had a more vocal government in these matters. I think President Biden could raise a stink about this TCI fellow and what he is saying to mitigate some of the employment losses.

A little bit of nationalistic grandstanding and saving some jobs goes far for a president's popularity.

I don't think people get what I'm trying to say.

I'm all for the bully pulpit. Worth a try. But the modern investor class has been at war with labor a hundred years. They have a chess move to play after every move by labor so people should plan.

A "bully pulpit" move or "trial by court of public opinion" will be countered by a "divide and conquer" play from the investors. So we'll get talking heads on TV sharing anecdotes about tech workers shitting on baristas and the like.
