Nonsensical take. Quick question: What scarce resource is it that knowledge workers hoard? If a knowledge worker acquires knowledge does that mean they've reduced the pool of knowledge available to others? It's not at all the same as hoarding capital or property, is it? Anyway, all labor is knowledge work. The plumber has specialized knowledge that the software engineer does not, and we all sell our bodies and minds.
As a non-religious person descended from Mennonites, I felt something strong when she said:

However, I was disappointed that the piece concluded in an evangelical call to action, littered with evangelical buzzwords I've heard a hundred times:

As a transgender person, I know that the community they want to foster comes with way too many conditions.
Tesla and the electric car industry is a scam. More car-dependency won't save our environment. Instead, we are just digging giant holes in the ground for lithium using slave labor.
