Is that really the worst part? These people make ridiculous amounts of money. If I were a major shareholder in Google, I wouldn't want to pay all that extra.

Not gonna lie, from outside the industry, unemployed tech workers sound like spoiled children to me. And when they start referring to themselves as "the workers," it legitimately makes me angry.

These are the people gobbling up homes across the country for 2x what the locals can afford. Their salaries are going down? GOOD! Let them go down A LOT FURTHER.

I've never seen a good justification for why FAANG salaries are so high other than "supply and demand," so now that they're falling and people are getting laid off? "Supply and demand."
