Many years ago. But as you said, it's a big industry, and the US is not an easy place to unionize in.

and the US is not an easy place to unionize in.

Moreso now than ever before.

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time to plant a tree is right now.

But I don't think that advice includes people staring at a fast approaching wildfire...

Now can be both the second-best-time to plant a tree and the first-best-time to grab a bucket of water!

Remember everyone, the forest is on fire and there's not many places to run. The fires of climate change affects the entire world, and this administration and the wealthy that back them will gleefully pour fuel on the flames and let your house burn.

You can stand around begging for rain, asking why the landlord didn't fix the sprinklers or why he never checked the fire extinguishers or why he's hiding under his desk clutching the cash register for dear life...

Or you can grab a bucket.

Yes, but there are also European developers. Such as Ubisoft, which previously had major issues with harassment, and probably still does. If they have a union, it certainly isn't a powerful one.
