Although, Facebook doesn’t produce much, right? Some glasses I guess. “Workers should own the means of collecting data to influence people towards some sources of production” doesn’t have quite the ring to it.

The means of production are for sale, they can own them if they want!

Workplace democracy would work better than democracy does anywhere else?
And, of course, every tech worker already has a vote. As the saying goes: they can vote with their feet.

Every programmer owns the means of code production (unless they forgot how to code without Claude). Turns out it's not necessarily enough to make money.
