Many Americans don't like the idea of people having opposing viewpoints. If you tell me that you like Hitler or Stalin, I might be surprised but I would want to know why and I could still get along wit that person as long as they did not get angry if I had different views. I would be fine if a co-worker was a Nazi or a Maoist or a Jihadist or a man-hating feminist in his/her spare time as long as he/she was respectful and polite at work and didn't force his/her views on me. What happens outside of work should stay outside of work. Most Americans are less tolerant though.

I suppose I can only speak for myself but I think very, very few people have any interest in going after Grandpa Bill from Ohio who had a Trump sign in his yard and sent the Trump campaign fifty bucks, nor does anyone want to bother whatever poor intern had to go to McDonald's for Trump.
But people like Stephen Miller, Rudy Giuliani, Michael Flynn, the active participants in the regime, they definitely deserve the social ostracizing equivalent of a death penalty.
I can find more cases of people getting fired for daring to support the president. Chiang Kei-shek supporters that stayed in mainland China in the 1950's were also punished for supporting the 'wrong side' (which happened to be the proper leader) in the Chinese Civil War.

I don't find the situation funny. I feel upset that a sneaky lawyer likely encouraged her to sue for a ridiculous amount. Would she even have made that much money if the coffee made her paralyzed
Although a New Mexico civil jury awarded $2.86 million to plaintiff Stella Liebeck, a 79-year-old woman who suffered third-degree burns in her pelvic region when she accidentally spilled hot coffee in her lap after purchasing it from a McDonald's restaurant, ultimately Liebeck was only awarded $640,000.
She died 12 years later meaning she was awarded over $50,000 per year of her remaining life because of a burn which did not paralyze or kill her. Her remaining life was likely worth around $20,000 X 12= $240,000 (it depends if she had investment income or just SSN). Likely, she would not have worked full-time from age 79-91 (and she still got the same social security payment). The burn did not reduce her income. Also, most workers in their prime years do not make $640,000 over a 12-year period and remember, the coffee burn would not have stopped 12 years of income. Even if the coffee burn killed her, the lawsuit seems too steep just going by estimated value of her remaining life (valuing a human life is quite controversial but it is done in courts).

As long as they are just stating their opinions and not actually killing people, it is fine. I respect their right to have an opinion. I am sure they dislike my pro-Israel views, but I would hope they would respect my right to have that opinion as well and be respectful to me at work.

They should have the legal right to fire people but ethically it is wrong. The government should set a good example and never fire people for their opinions outside of work (as long as they don't wear the work uniform or post from a government website).
My hope is that more people will agree to disagree and respect people's opinions even if they are controversial. People need to be less petty and we can have more harmony. The people that fired the employees behaved like mini tyrants. I bet they are the same people that criticized Xi Jinping or Kim Jong-Il or Stalin for 'human rights violations' and not allowing freedom of speech BUT they also behave like a tyrant when given the opportunity.

The fact that the tough, hard, manly men of the right seriously think that getting in trouble with your boss for posting terrorist threats on Facebook or whatever is a "political purge," alike in severity or scale if not in style to the Cultural Revolution or the great purges of the fascist and communist dictatorships, says something both very funny and very sad about the insane sense of entitlement they're in fact expressing, and about the deep, deep lack of actual historical knowledge among the broader population of the atrocities that they're comparing their own "suffering" to.would be fine if a co-worker was a Nazi
Yes, I've gathered.

The plan is to impeach Biden, the impeach Kamala before she can select a new VP, then impeach Pelosi, then keep on impeaching new Democratic speakers until the Republicans get a majority in the House.
It’s a flawless strategy, honestly.

Actually all of it was about liability of companies, it's part of a much broader attack on the right of individuals to sue companies under Tort law. The whole dismissal of her case is part of a PR campaign to muddy the issue, your attitude has been created and defined by others aiming to strip you of your rights.
Do you question climate change, or think smoking is a case of individual rights? These messages have been created for you to think.

Climate change is a natural process and the world was actually much hotter during the time of the dinosaurs.
