Never even mind volunteering. $50B/year in wage theft in this country. People contract to do labor and then their bosses simply short them. Back in 2019 a coal company attempted to close a mine without paying over $1M in back wages. The workers shut down the rail out of the money and seized the coal until they were made whole.
Wish more folks who got fleeced by DuoLingo had the gumption to do something similar.
It's harder to protest and make demands when most volunteers don't even know where the fuck Duolingo's HQ is, much mess live anywhere near it.
Love that username 😂
It's the best spell in existence
Agitate on the forums. Let other people know about open-source alternatives. Organize other power users to submit bad data in protest.
