Blah blah blah. We’re pointing out the absurd hypocrisy of badmouthing governments you and cosplaying John Galt while you’re sucking up all that sweet sweet government money.  

It’s always weird to watch people stanning for a super hardcore libertarian using the same workforce and jobs arguments that were used by the USSR when they kept dead factories running.

And yes, despite all their worker surveillance, Amazon still hasn’t come up with a tool which stops their drivers from parking illegally, blocking crosswalks and bike lanes, and generally being a menace on the streets. 

Letting someone go after they’ve bought into your “hardcore” mantra to the point of sleeping at the office seems like a pretty watertight argument for other employees to never work that hard in the future.

Watching Twitter circle the toilet bowl while losing billions of dollars in value is far more entertaining than being on Twitter ever was, plus it takes far less time. Win-win!
