        @paulg Capitalism must eat the population to feed itself, and it can only achieve this by oppression, making it incompatible with #democracy

        .@paulg employment regulations usually impact small firms to a larger degree - it doesn't matter bc benefit for all workers is greater

        @BrooklynBrett then I just dont get why you would have any loyalty to your employer if there are no guarantees? I guess it what were used to

        @barney_parker why is "loyalty to an employer" relevant in the 21st century? I'm 29 and have had 10-15 employers. I seek highest pay.

        .@paulg Because so many startups enjoy the burn-and-churn employment model? 70+hrs/wk for low pay and promised equity, revoked before cliff?
