Fun fact: in his promo for this book, Chris repeatedly describes smart contracts on the blockchain as being equivalent to collective bargaining, presenting this as an obviously meritorious thing. Clearly, workers at A16Z portfolio companies should pursue those virtues, no blockchain required!

@molly0xfff @anildash this is incredible thank u for your service of reading this entire stupid book
@ingrid @molly0xfff I was telling @beep it's really incredible to have A16Z strongly endorsing the resurgence of unions at this critical time. 
@anildash @ingrid @molly0xfff they always told me solidarity could be difficult
@anildash @molly0xfff Jotted down some thoughts about this whole “collective bargaining machines” fooferaw: https://ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/collective/
Thanks so much for highlighting that, and for tagging me in on this.
@beep @anildash @molly0xfff reminds me of the period of about a year or so when a few leftists beclowned themselves by insisting that DAOs were going to be this important new tool for enacting leftist policies in various avenues of society, without really spelling out how exactly, probably bc in practice it'd shake out to absurdities like "imagine being in a union where the more money you had the more votes you got".
@jplebreton @beep @anildash there is also "yield guild games", which described itself as a "crypto-native version of a workers' union" but mostly just rents out game NFTs via "scholarships" to people who can't afford to purchase them outright (see https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fbloc.2022.965604/full)
@molly0xfff @beep @anildash [watching the galley rowing scene from ben hur] if you think about it, this is a type of union
