Seriously ? Google just continues firing employees. And remember Elon Musk taking over Twitter and firing a considerable amount of employees ? They likely will get away with all of that, for free or paying a small fine or settle a case.
And let’s insert a quote I just read on Mastodon :
I quote a great jewish thinker on far-right politics:
”When you look in the fascist mirror, you do not see a monster there.
You see beauty, and it tells you are special, exceptional, part of the most important people on earth.
It is the others who are the problem”
Yet it’s worse than fascism. It’s oligarchy + fascism. People have money tied to it which leads them to double down on all of it.
These workers were fired simply because it could hurt the stock price. And since the US has subpar labor laws, and half the voting populace who seem quite happy with fascism, the country is quite screwed.

It’s the USA.

Political affiliation is not a protected class, nor should it be.

umm, of course? Google is evil, when it comes to making money. They’re an US company after all and US is no stranger to killing innocents for profit.
The apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree.

The US has absolutely atrocious employment laws, so yes they can: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/At-will_employment
In the case of Google, the trade off is compensation.
You can work for for Google in NYC and make $300k+ per year, or work for Google in London and make half as much at best.
Google employees suddenly grow a conscience when it’s their cause
