I would guess there's a lot more in the way of tricky IP issues to deal with there than with the early versions that were still primarily based on the original purchased rights.
We're talking about a version of DOS where the only text editor is edlin, and this is before we start dealing with Dou-- er, DriveSpace.
You are an idiot.
But he's the guy that signs the paychecks, and that's all that matters in the job market.

And yet it's only after you sign the contract that you think to get a lawyer involved.

People who are absolutely at the top of the scale in 1925, for instance, would be getting food stamps today, said Greenspan.
Has Greenspan blown the dust off his Rolodex lately? I can't think of anybody with the last name "Rockefeller" or "Vanderbilt" in 2014 that's hurting for cash.
"If we're not going to educate our kids, bring in other people who want to become Americans," said Greenspan, in arguing for an increase of H-1B workers.
H-1B is not a path to citizenship, apparently by design. Green card holders can say "Screw you, I quit" without deportation, which is not what companies want when they reach for H-1B's.
In the context of income inequality, Greenspan put the H-1B program in his light: If the program were expanded, income wouldn't necessarily go down much, "but I bet you they would go down enough to really make an impact, because income inequality is a relative concept.
H-1B's are competing for the bottom. Executives don't bring in indentured servants to be their own replacement, nor are meaningful numbers being placed into "rock star" slots (rock stars can command perks like actual green card status anyway). H-1B's only drive down the wages of the bottom, not the top, exacerbating wealth disparity.
"I'm appreciated here!"
Only the people who see nothing wrong with such monitoring would be doing the job.
Just tax a small bit of the wealth flowing through the country and give people part-time jobs fixing potholes or whatever.
Why the make-work? Just go with basic income where everybody gets a check that's enough for food, shelter and other necessities, with no means testing or anything. If you want a bigger house or flashier car or a lawn greener than the neighbors', then you can go out and get a job (profit motive) to supplement your income beyond this. But you still take the "or die" factor out of employment.

It'd be nice if TFA actually included a link. Or even cited the fucking source of the graphics they lifted.
But then its harder for a bar to find staff
Not in this economy.
I think you're missing several points here.
First off, the most environmentally sound solution would be for these tech workers to live in the suburbs to begin with. The jobs themselves are in the suburbs, and the workers are commuting from the city to the suburbs simply because it's hip and trendy to (be able to afford to) live in San Francisco proper.
Worse yet, this ends up putting more cars on the road, not fewer, because the people who do work in the city can't afford to live there. They are the ones who have to commute from the suburbs to the city. The clerk at the trendy organic grocery store or the bartender at the hipster bar, the stuff that gives "living in the city" its pricey allure, are faced with impossible rents or stiff commutes, and you can be sure as hell it's not their employers paying for a private coach to collect them from the sticks.
