    What does it say if they hire him again?

    “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      It would explain why we can’t have nice things.

          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            Yeah, that might test Elon’s definition of ‘unfair’ a little

              I'm not sure what grounds anybody has to sue a private employer who fires them due to their political/cultural opinions, but if those grounds exist in the abstract, tasteless humor would be defensible. But it's never been my impression that private employers need grounds to dismiss you. There are only certain reasons they can't dismiss you. Opinions aren't among those disallowed reasons, as far as I know.

              Education is extremely important.

                How about violating rules of conduct that are written down and agreed to?

                  My point was that a private employer doesn't need grounds to dismiss you. Then I wondered whether liking a post on Twitter constituted some sort of protected action for which another general law prohibits dismissal. If that other general law exists, it might not be possible to sign it away in an employment contract.

                    In the case of the NASCAR driver he took a sudden lurch to the right which is never a good idea in that sport.

                        Maybe one of those threads will explain the grounds an employee has to sue, if they are dismissed because of Twitter activity.
