    Thank you to all the healthcare workers who've spoken publicly about conditions in their hospitals, even though hospital administrators have tried to prevent it. Without you, we wouldn't know what's really happening.

        Thank goodness for the 1st Amendment. That poor whistle-blower doctor in China isn't so lucky.

        Hey @paulg, glad you’re coming around on transparency. Will you and @gralston insist that all YC-funded companies make strong whistleblower protections part of their bylaws?

        Interesting idea but couldn’t board change the bylaws at a later date anyways? Not sure if this is the same situation but Etsy was a B-Corp but now that they’re public, they’re letting go of that certification if they haven’t already.

        The public are placing healthcare workers on a plinth, effectively volunteering many to martyrdom (on their behalf). They’re not soldiers, just people. Out of fear of being ostracised, our cheering is pressuring them into this danger. Figuring out how to be supportive is complex.

        Perhaps we should have more physicians and fewer administrators.pic.twitter.com/1jg4yFUxKV

        Whistleblowers are an integral part of American society yet our institutions typically silence & punish them. Kinda troubling right? Shoutout to them for sure

        I was about to say one solution is to develop monetization models that support whistleblowing but then it hit me that that was what Wikileaks did. And we saw how that turned out
