meatsauce··on Why did inflation spiral out of control: a retrospective
So I heard that 80% of the money supply in circulation was printed over the last 18 months. I suspect that 'might' have something to do with inflation.
meatsauce··on Can Democracy Include a World Beyond Humans?
The Greeks tried a strict democracy. It was a problem because a strict democracy is mob rule, hence the development of a republic.

You can always find a lawyer who will lie for you.

Isn't it funny that the woke cancer employees want to shed the woke label, despite their claim of being "woke."
meatsauce··on SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
It's ok to be angry. It is a normal human emotion. Anyone who tells you different is selling you something.

Anything that is lawful should be allowed.

Interesting question.

If you look at other companies that give the woke cry bullies and their subjective feelings precedent over the mission, you can see that it creates a toxic workplace, hostile environments, further segmentation of workers into cliques, and other unpleasantries that hurt the mission, and ultimately the bottom line for that company.

If you look at the nuances; they were fired for participating in actions that can not only be considered insubordination, but also abuse of company resources and harassment of employees who just want to do their job and not cater to the worthless feelings of people who have crippling self-esteem issues.

Dumping the woke cry babies is the right decision here. Engagement only serves to embolden work cry bullies who are used to getting their way.

In the context of employment; yes. Bye. Turn in your badge, too.
meatsauce··on SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
100% of my company likes me but that's besides the point. Work isn't a popularity contest and you don't need to be liked all the time by everyone. The only people who care about such things are those with devastatingly low self-esteem.

How do you inherit money from a dead father who is still alive?

What a brain-buster!

Too much TV, friend.
meatsauce··on SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
He's a hard boss for sure. That's why he is successful. He doesn't take your shit and pushes you to do your job at its maximum potential. Of course, you don't need to work there, McDonalds' is always hiring and I hear they will be nice to you.

Sin tax is fascism. I don't need you squeezing me because you THINK you know what's best for me.

It is a slippery slope.

What's next?

No more cup cakes because sugar gives you diabetes?

How about no more hip hop music because it largely celebrates violence and influences kids to join violent gangs?

No more cars because AOC might whine with another 24 tweet wall of bar-stool wisdom?

Or, maybe, and hear me out; you just don't like what he has to say, which in the real world, means absolutely nothing to 99.999% of the planet.

If only you were held accountable for intellectual property theft.

Oh, you were just "credibly accused" of IP theft.

It doesn't matter if we can't prove it.

You should be pre-emptively fired!

Welcome to the woke cancer socialist hell hole.

Working conditions is a legal term and you can't redefine it.
meatsauce··on SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
Considering how simple-minded and toxic work-cancer employees are, and how harmful and corrupt a union can be; it is no surprise that Musk is 3 steps ahead of them.
meatsauce··on SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
Several takedowns of your nonsense were made in good faith. You're being foolish at this point.
meatsauce··on SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
There is so much nonsense in this thread. The letter has nothing to do with working conditions.

I take that back:

The letter was spammed to all employees using company resources, which means its authors and supporters were creating a hostile work environment. Firing the dead-weight woke cry bullies was the proper move.

meatsauce··on SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
When you hear the term "safe" used in the woke-cancer whines, you can be sure that employee was a real cry baby and anchor on the rest of the team.

Getting fired for being a whiny woke jerk at work is not cancel culture.

Trying to destroy someone's life for a wholly-subjective slight is cancel culture (social cancer)

meatsauce··on SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
This is nonsense.

You cannot compare at-will employment with public speech within the letter of the law.

Simplified:

Woke Cancer Culture != Protected Class

meatsauce··on SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
This is highly deceptive. Musk is on record saying that for a town square, you should be able to say whatever you want so long as it is within the letter of the law. Which means, gone will be the days of getting perma-banned for offending some woke crybaby.

Musk's companies are not town squares. They are private entities and employees can be fired for insubordination, harassment, or abuse of company resources.

meatsauce··on SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
There is no comparison between public debate within the letter of the law and what a private company does with insubordinate employees that are disrupting the business.
meatsauce··on SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
Unsolicited blasting of the email, letter, and surveys to thousands of employees is the digital equivalent to "incoherently yelling in all places at all times."

I would expect nothing less from the woke-cancer employees. The productive members of the team must be relieved that the woke weight was shed.

meatsauce··on SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
He's such a hack! So terrible is Musk at leadership, he is only the richest man on the planet. Worst successful guy ever!
meatsauce··on SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
Why are you comparing apples to hydrazine?

You simply cannot compare the employment relationship and open debate within the letter of the law.

meatsauce··on SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
Your general issue work-cancer employee is not a rational actor. The forethought ceases at "I'm offended"
meatsauce··on SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
Good thing he shed the woke-cancer. Those clowns ruin entire companies and destroy morale for the whole team.
meatsauce··on SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
He made it up.
