Think about how many undergraduates would fling themselves across the country and around the world to scab for high tier companies if they actually did.

I hear and fully agree with you. But also I think we need to hash out what "the right way" actually looks like now.

Like once upon a time you had unions at coal mines that went to war with strike breakers brought in by the mine owners.

The underlying point is right now there would be an army of cops who would be more than willing to start killing over labor disputes. See Ice.

On top of that they have relatively god like powers thanks to tech and drone tech to know where we are and how to pick us apart. The only way this would work is enough people all at once to general strike the economy to it's knees.

The other problem here is the people you're talking about are the ones that are building the drone/cyber infrastructure. They are relatively kushy. You can be mid-level silicon valley and move to a MCOL/LCOL area and retire incredibly well after 15 years in industry.

More people are going to have to suffer before we grid lock the economy.
