      It’s the US. If there is a country that hates its citizens more than this one, I haven’t heard of it yet.

      Any time they can take things from you and give it to companies, they will.

      So it shouldn’t really be a surprise.

      But if you forget to pay $1 to a company, all hell breaks loose.

        They ought to rename “US citizens” to “US consumers” or “US production units”, then they wouldn’t have to sue all the time.

        Russia has been in the news cycle for over a year because of the war they started.

        They imprison anyone critical of the government or the war. They imprisoned a man and deprived him of his fatherly rights because his daughter made an anti-war drawing at school.

        They conscript men from poor ethnic regions by offering them a salary that’s 10x of their current one. Then they send them to the front with no training or equipment to be cannon fodder.

        They are stealing from the pension fund to support their war, which will have catastrophic consequences for the elderly population in the future.

        I mean shit. Have you never heard of North Korea?

        I guess none of that counts. US bad.

      Agreed. Unfortunately, recently fired people are vulnerable and tired, and in financially precarious situations. Does anyone know who’s pursuing this, if it would cover everyone who wasn’t paid, and what happens if Twitter doesn’t follow through?
