If only there was some way to not work for a company you don’t want to work for.

You know that's the same argument used in support of vaccine mandates. On talk.lol there seemed to be support for "banning all the trannies," which while appealing, is ofc censorship that has been applied against people like us.

While turn around is fair play, this also highlights the problem for people who are concerned for free speech. The right also wants to ban speech as much as anyone, make people quit their jobs or "make their own platform," like that was even a viable option.

An individual openly saying they don’t want to work for the person who just became their employer is the same “argument” as an employer telling their employees to get vaccinated or be fired?

Yes, obviously. "If you don't like it, quit" is generally not a workable solution for the majority of people who require an income to live.

What is your solution for the Twitter employee who doesn’t want to work for Elon Musk?

I'm glad you asked, because I see this as an opportunity for a teachable moment for the liberals. Take the higher road, show them how adults can reasonably disagree and still work together. Firstly, I think this is mostly emotional hyperbole. Few people actually want to quit out of protest. Second, their concerns can be listened to and taken seriously, if not acted on. That would have saved us a lot of trouble if they had done that instead of banning their ideological opposition. I think getting them to better detail their exact issues will be very handy for step 3, Learning. We have to get them to understand why what they did was wrong. Rehabilitate the libs, make them good productive Americans again.

I think something the right is not considering is that their popular support right now doesn't come from their core, those dudes were always there, it comes from the moderates who are siding with the right. The right has to stay moderate to retain that support. But my backup 3 point plan is shoving 3 pointy things in liberal asses for being little fascist fucks.

It would be interesting to hear his reasoning for not wanting to work for Musk
