Katt Williams does not appear to be a Republican.
But saying that trans people are part of rituals to worship Bathompet would seem to be crazy enough to justify firing someone.
This thread is dominated by left-wingers.
We can consider who the posters supported in recent elections. It's not exactly an even match between Trump and Biden.
It makes sense for some companies to be left-wing spaces where disagreement is unwelcome. Mother Jones doesn't pretend to be unbiased. Neither does a politically progressive activist group.
But if you've got a product that appeals to a mass audience, that kind of gatekeeping is counterproductive.
My standard on whether to take her seriously was if several stories came out showing serious problems in the hospital implying some kind of systemic failure.
The Times piece seemed to suggest that some of her concerns were valid.
It's still a situation where left-wingers are making it easier to fire people who disagree with their views.
I fully understand the viewpoint that people on the left are good people, and should be able to fire the people they disagree with. But it's going to be hard to codify that in a way that doesn't make it easier for others to push out people on your side.
I was pretty clear that it's my preferred policy, not something that is currently the law.
I think in the long run, employees are more likely to benefit from greater transparency. The businesses benefit at their expense from opaqueness and a lack of accountability.
Obviously, people could be fired for things they would rather not disclose (IE- if they've been late too many times, and customers complain they smell like a brewery) so there can be an option for someone to waive why they were dismissed.
If the reason is something embarrassing to the company, the big-shots could also pay employees extra to agree to waive a right to a public explanation.
I don't think false allegations of sexual harassment are a bigger problem than actual sexual harassment, so that's something to keep in mind with workplace policies. When sexual harassers have an easier time lying, it hurts their future coworkers, who will be unaware of the danger they face of sexual assault.
There should be grater transparency in media, since these are the people exposing workplace problems (either in journalism or fiction) and helping people make sense of the world. Customers should know under what circumstances they would not be accepted as employees of sense-making institutions that want their money.
