I've just started a substack called "Rising Tide" where I'll be posting political articles from a pro-worker perspective. Mostly with the intent to educate average people on their interests and how to stand up for them.

Starbucks' unionized workers are holding a massive strike vote.

If approved, more than 12,000 baristas in 45 states and the District of Columbia could strike.

@sbworkersunited.org says the strike would be open-ended, potentially continuing through the holidays.

In fact there are already people I've stopped talking to for that reason.

It feels silly to put in effort when the other person doesn't.

Someone had a fun morning, lol.

In case it wasn't clear what I meant there, high margins means more than enough money to pay the people that actually make the game without raising the price of the game by even one cent.

Fullmetal Humanist @oneonone1162.bsky.social · 10d

It's also worth noting that games, because they're digitally distributed, have the potential to have incredible margins when widely sold. The cost of production stays static once the game has been made, but the cost of extra sales is absolutely minuscule. So the margin keeps growing.

Fullmetal Humanist @oneonone1162.bsky.social · 10d

Btw...

Price go up does not necessarily mean wages go up.

Wages go up does not always have to mean prices go up.

Just to be clear.

People need to stop acting like prices and wages are directly connected.

The day average executives stop making 380 times the amount of money as their workers and ALL workers get a living wage that keeps up with inflation we can start talking about 100 dollar games (maybe).

Scott Frerichs @kaiserneko.bsky.social · 10d

Most folks can't justify $100 games. Especially if they're chock full of microtransactions and paid DLC.

Especially when these companies are still making huge profits, most of that money going to *executives.*

Especially when these games are often undercooked and their staff overworked.
