All the same, if one generation completely fails to uphold their side of the generational contract, whether through malice or indifference, why would the following ones hold up their side? Their failure to build a world that the next generations can live and raise their own families in means they did not earn their rest. If dismantling things that are actively, today, still harming people as a means to fund those retirements means they can't have that comfort, well okay then. They should've spent their resources building renewable energy generation or something instead instead of still today voting against it. Something no one would want to tear down.

And FAANGs have an entire industry around getting into. They are not and never were the only option. They're notoriously the more difficult option, and during the last 15-20 years when this was all being built, software had some of the best career prospects. No one was forced to work there. They had to go out of their way to do it, and a lot of them specifically practiced for it. They knew exactly what they were doing.

Even if it were their only prospect, just like if a theft ring were someone's "only prospect" (it's also not), the correct answer is still to stop them.
