      My wife was fired from a job for getting sick (kidney stones). We were told if we don’t like it, sue, but I bet you can’t afford either with the medical bills. It took us years to pay for that stone.

      There are some very unkind people out there who take advantage of their position. It’s a right-to-work state which just means that you can be fired for any and no reason with no recourse. It’s dystopian as hell. Most people in these positions put up with it because they enjoy eating.

      In the U.S. it’s a long propaganda history called “right to work.” It’s sold as being freedom and rights for the people, but really it just strips unionizing rights away and gives corporations power.

      Like most laws in the U.S., it’s all lies and only abject morons buy it.

        It’s backwards speak like most conservative legislation. Right to work actually means you have no rights at work.
