Is there anyone shocked that senior engineers move around and end up getting highly competitive offers? The effort it takes to join a new company is to wait for a new laptop and join to a different Zoom call. You can’t treat employees like commodity in this environment.

If you want to know what Merrick Garland will say later, here it is (below). “Law and facts, no fear or favor, nobody above the law” is good, and important to say. But without meaningful action, it’s just rote boilerplate used by every AG to justify every action (or inaction).

We have to come to terms with the fact that a lot of things are _better off_ centralized, too! Factories can be way more efficient than uhhh... lots of small independent shops. And that's ok! And it's ok to mix and match!

@zkat__ ("tired but ❄️festive🎄 gay") replied to a tweet by @zkat__:

But what's going on is also not really decentralization, either: it's a recentralization from one concentration of money and power (and "location") to another, often with tons of overlap in participants (the currently rich are often the ones buying a crapton into cr/yp/to).

imo what folks usually want out of decentralization isn't decentralization itself (which has its own cost/benefits), but _shared centralization_ where a single entity is credibly owned by those it affects.

So maybe uhhh... look into co-ops and such instead of cr/ypto?
