Taking this apart 🧵 
She doesn't own anything in this video. These are standard perks for tech workers get so they don't complain about making $70-80k answering emails in one of America's most expensive cities
It's not a dunk that a billion dollar company is able to provide better than even the most well paid surgeon, but it should be everyone's concern that govt and corporations are buying up women into sterile neolib harems
Just because it has peleton bikes and vegan lunch options doesn't mean these aren't 19th century company towns.
In that thread about the state of tech work, it was pointed out that these people aren't living lives of leisure. They are being worked to death, have no life outside of work, and are usually so broken down by the time they graduate, they are dependent on mental health services.

Traditionally second class citizens are being bribed with petty positions of status in exchange for blind loyalty to the system, all while being told this was the good life those white men stole from them.
Even if you become one of Amazon's Senior VPs, you will never be as free as the pioneers
