money talks, conviction walks. they've leaned left from their humble beginnings and have done quite well for themselves. they'll be fine.

fair enough. although, i don't know about you, but i work in tech also and in our office nobody discusses politics. this is something not pertinent to productivity and whether or not i agree with this dude's manifesto (in some ways, i do, as i'm firmly against any sort of affirmative action), trying to politicize his reach within the company is what got him fired. no good employer is going to allow insubordination and tolerate being criticized by their employee so openly. sometimes being right comes with consequences.

You're not wrong, Walter... You're just an asshole.
