    A public company will 99,9% of the time be shit, that’s why you need strong worker protection enshrined in legislation. The fact that all the downvoters didn’t get the subtext is one of the reasons you got to this situation in the first place. The average literacy in the US is godawful and the political process only works in easily digestible soundbites, so complex themes like worker protection get relegated to the back seat in favour of who uses which bathroom.

      Holy shit take the L.

      No one here disagrees with that, or is unaware of the “sUbTeXt”.

      That’s just not how subtext works. You don’t get to say one thing, then claim you meant something entirely different (the reasonable take) and call it subtext.
