I am pretty sure - if his theories works - it would be really good for accumulating even more capital for the shareholders.

And I am also pretty sure it, at least for me, will not matter at all, and it will be really bad for everyone else involved.

This is the reality in United States, but not in most of the world.

Many companies are actually not us companies.

In the end probably only the us companies will be left empty-handed.

> But at some point, one needs to launch the thing, despite the complains.

Or: at some point, one decides to launch the thing.

You are reducing the complaints of an engineer as something inevitable and unimportant, as if it happened in every lunch, and in every lunch someone decided to went ahead, because it was what was needed.

> If it made no difference why would employees bother?

Employees should bother to improve their own lives, not to decrease productivity or affect company survival.

* Emphasis mine.

I was going to say that it's something for them to decide, but then the conversation was going to be circular.

My email is not your confidential data. My phone number is not your confidential data.

If your company can only exist by blocking other companies from competition with your customer, then your company should not exist in first place.

If the clients prefer to leave with the then 2 month-old employee, then the consultancy is doing something very wrong.

Can we start to call companies with almost 18 years old just "companies" and not startup anymore?

Sometimes one gets tired of endless complaining.
> In fact I don't want to open accounts with anyone

Then it's not and issue for you, as you probably didn't want to open an account with pocket in first place, right?

The will of the people is expressed in vote and then indirectly applied by the elected officials. If 100% of Americans decided to make King Charles president, then they will amend the laws allowing him to do so.
In a democracy, the only way forward from a democracy, legally speaking, is through laws. Specifically a new constitution. And the constitution (at least in Brazil) is very clear on what happens of you try to depose the democracy by force.

It is actually worse than that. The police cannot be the judge, jury and executor. The Judge Dredd is an anti-hero for a reason.
