"Combining industry-level data on employment with data on robot adoption, it finds that robot use is linked to a small but significant increase in employment. Contrary to some previous studies, it does not find evidence of robots reducing the share of low-skill workers across Europe."

"In 1980, 26.5% of German social democrat parliamentarians had held formal roles with a trade union, but by 1994 this had reduced by half... parliamentarians who held a formal role with the youth wing of the party amounted to 51% in 2017 – up from 13% in the early 1990s."
From "Trade unions are key to winning back working-class support for the left" by Mutual Interest, a free online newspaper #coop owned by the readers and writers.

If Bernie isn't the Democratic nominee, I hope he runs as an independent (I doubt he will), because Trump isn't the enemy that needs to be defeated.
Of course, it's hard to blame them. The software development world continues to treat software as magic, not science, so there's no empirical evidence pointing toward the best development methods.
Software managers and their bosses never like to hear that the best answer is to start over, so they'll ignore such advice in favor of slipped schedules, undelivered promises, and unmaintainable software; then in ten years, they'll start over, often after the people wise enough to suggest it are long gone. #failureloop
Most of the software developers I've met who've embraced scrum are the same ones who think coding in 3GL is cool and software is an art and/or a craft.
...or...they're destined for management.
I've worked for both small companies and big companies. While it's easier to be a VIP in a small company, it's much easier to develop new interests in a big company.
In both cases you have to navigate entrenched bastions of mediocrity. In a small company, you might become stuck behind one; in a big company, you have more room to manuever around one, but there's many more to discover.

Will this counter-economy reach a critical mass to replace modern capitalism?
