    Weird that these protections exist for corporations that aren’t actually people but no protections exist for the person who was fired.

        We never left serfdom.

        Everyone you have ever met is a servant of the ruling class.

        You have never met a ruler and probably never will.

        The amazing thing is that the government doesn’t get nearly as much tax income as you’d expect from these hugs companies. It’s almost as if the politicians have some other, secret motivating factor. Oh well, I guess we’ll never know.
