When photosynthesis started, the atmosphere had much more CO2, and had very little oxygen. The plants changed the very nature of our atmosphere, from neutral / reducing atmosphere to an oxidative atmosphere. Many species were killed off, the biosphere changed almost completely.

All just for their selfish needs to consume CO2.

Your assumption that a typical software company is ever "mature" in the sense of not needing many software developers is ridiculous. Just an example, Microsoft employs thousands of times more software developers now when it is "mature" in normal ways, than when it was releasing its software for the first time.

Fun! I see that even you don't remember what they are anymore.

Wrong. I remember the points, for an educated person all of them are summarised in my first post in this thread, but you couldn't understand the first concept in it for so long.

you apparently believe that Socialism is superior to Capitalism.

This is also wrong. So you enjoy building and smashing strawmen, you don't need anyone else.

So my suspicion was correct, you don't know the meaning of "by themselves". It is surely poor reading comprehension (which includes basic knowledge of the language in question). Your logic might be ok for all I know.

The unions not only brought about direct actions on the employers they work for, they also brought about legislation, regulation and awareness for employees of other employers. The only way to evaluate the effect of companies alone without the role of unions, is to look at an era where unions didn't exist.

Just because your employer didn't have unions, did the laws of minimum wage, overtime, 401k matching or the like in the jurisdiction not apply ? Did employees become unaware of the possibility of unions just because the specific employer didn't have unions ? Did they stop having options to move to employers with unions ?
