jobs was a criminal wage thief. and i say that only from the public criminal record.

the argument that they were paid enough to be ethically thieved neglects the knock-on effects market-wide in tech from these industry leaders.

These kinds of people will tell you that anybody who invented anything and made money is a "wage thief". Everyone, watch out for that terminology.

Anyone working there at the time made approximately a zillion dollars from stock compensation, so it doesn’t seem like it worked.

Could you please stop posting ideological battle comments to HN? They're tedious and not what this site is for, regardless of which flavor you favor.

This is not a comment on the topic at hand—I'm just noticing that you've been posting a lot like this lately, and it's been a problem for a long while as well. You're clearly using HN primarily for ideological battle, and are way over the line at which we ban accounts—see https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme... for past explanations. I don't want to ban you, because you've also posted good things, but if you keep doing this we're going to have to.

Curious conversation and ideological battle are incompatible. Therefore we have to pick one. We pick curious conversation.

Thanks for the fair warning. I've accounted for your past warnings. I see popular discussion that appear as ideologically informed as my own, yet slide by as status quo positions, which motivated me to add balance to conversation. However I now understand your policy on taking ideological stances too frequently (even if other frequent ideologues don't appear so due to status quo positions). I'll heed this.
