People refusing to work for them would put a quick end to them.

They need us way more than we need them. They're the parasites, we're the hosts.

If you know someone who works directly under a billionaire's umbrella, shame them. Make it uncool to work at Meta, or SpaceX, selling Teslas, or Amazon at any level. Make it uncool to work on their yachts, or in their homes, or as their driver, etc.

We DO have the power, we need to exercise it together.

Making it uncoool is cool, but more importantly, unionize.

Hang on a sec, some of these jobs come with the opportunity to, uh, do something very cool.

I 90% agree with, but given the state of the economy, lots of people gotta pay the bills and finding another job is difficult if not impossible right now. And that's exactly by design. Not to mention working inside one of these companies comes with the potential for sabotage. Maybe lets not shame people who don't get the luxury of choice right now.

And of course, encourage union participation as well as any form of sabotage that one can perform that won't end in the death or harm of innocents.

Those companies haven't been "cool" to work at for a while now, but they're prestigious because they pay so much and people care about money and status.
