Before I visit a news site (even here counts many times), I remember to wonder “So what should I be offended about today?”

Southern-southern, or gay-fake-over-the-top-southern, like Kevin Spacey  & Lindsey Graham?

I thought this was obvious... Next up, an article about how bolts thread into nuts. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Took the words right out of my fingertips.

The company I work for has very detailed rules on what you can or cannot say on social media.  If you handle a company social media account obviously there is a higher level of limitations.  For personal accounts, if you ever mention anything related to the company in any way, you must disclose that you are an…

Well said, ‘bifurcate’ as more than one thing can be true at the same time. Our new found love of binary bloviating is at odds with our acceptance of every other type of diversity. Very strange

No on both counts. I drive a gas guzzler and am able to separate my opinion of Elon Musk the person from clearly settled case law.

Why do you think that I think “labor in exchange for money” means that the boss gets to be immune from consequences?”

Read my comment again and circle back. Employees enjoy certain protections, and those protections have limits. You can’t say whatever you want to your CEO or about them to your work colleagues and…

I did read the article, and I understand exactly what protections employees have. Now, have a seat and read my comment.
Employees don’t have the God-given right to say whatever they want to (emphasis added) sr. leadership.
That is a fact and has been determined statutorily and by case law. We all enjoy some…

US labor laws say no such thing. Provide a cite or fuck off yourself. I worked in banking tech for 30 years and if I threw shit at my CEO, damn right I’d be fired. So, provide a link

You may not like him, I don’t like him, but he was on firm ground firing those folks. It’s pretty thin to say that the employees were fighting “for better working conditions” which is where the protection lies, because they led off with criticism of Musk, specifically, and then asked for more inclusive policies.

Publicly writing a letter stating your boss needs to keep his mouth shut, and getting your buddies to sign it, sounds like a great way to be unemployed. He signs your paycheck and you think Will Smith smacking him in public is going to turn out good for you? Then you sue because you lost your job, this is laugh out…

Breaking news: Talking shit about your CEO can and most likely will get you fired. Twitter and SpaceX employees should be smart enough to know this.

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences.

You can criticize your boss all you want, doesn’t mean you are going to have a job after it.

Because this is a car and auto-enthusiasts’ website and if it wasn’t mentioned, we’d all be asking. Knowing what car lets us paint a picture of what happened, what the fuel lines would’ve looked like, where he was in his shop, what era of fuel delivery he was dealing with...

I never bought into that whole “If you no longer go for a gap...” bullshit that Senna went on about. Go racing, sure, by all means. But don’t be a colossal twat about it.

Agree wholeheartedly: Context matters.

FWIW, Checo let Max through earlier on to attack Alonso. He could have held him back but was promised the position back if Max couldn’t make it stick (he couldn’t). Checo is a good teammate and significantly better than Max deserves.

Maybe if the cars had a footprint smaller than a fucking Hummer and were designed less like inverted fighter jets and more like cars it would be possible for people to actually pass without the permission/cooperation of the person being passed.

There are times where it is beneficial to be a “good teammate” though, and this was certainly one of those times. I agree with your general gist that teammates are competitors first and foremost, but let’s not ignore the benefits to helping your teammate.
