> And you didn’t answer the question - is there any amount of money you could be offered to work at Twitter?

I'd do it for $1024/hour on a 1099 contract with guaranteed time and a half for overtime.

As for the question in the headline: my wife lost her job just before COVID. She hasn't been back to work since because I make more than enough for both of us and by not working we were able to get rid of a car, cut various expenses in half, and have more time together since I was working from home. We went from DINK to SINK: single income, no kids.

> "Good" means you didn't think about your answer...

Bullshit. I gave my answer plenty of thought, and came to the conclusion that, "Mind your own business. Let's focus on work." would be counterproductive.

That's dang's decision, and he is welcome to act accordingly. Until then I will speak from the heart; I honestly believe that women, LGBTQ people, non-white people, non-Christians, and neurodiverse people should arm themselves, learn tactics, and be prepared to enforce their human rights with violence -- since the law will not uphold them on their behalf.

I called out schools and employers because of the inherent power imbalance. Students are compelled by law to go to school. Workers are generally compelled by necessity to work for somebody; you aren't free when the invisible hand of the market has a knife to your throat.

What you as a customer or an employee do is your own business, but I do not regard employers as customers for rented labor.

Turn off the electronics. Read books on paper. Write in a notebook with a pen.

Good. What a student says outside of school ought to be none of the school's business. Likewise, what an adult says outside the workplace ought to be none of their employer's business unless they have explicitly identified themselves as their employer's representative.
