      Hey @paulg, has Thiel now invested more in a Trump presidency than YC companies?http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/16/technology/peter-thiel-donald-j-trump.html?_r=0 …

      If 37signals had employees who were avid Trump supporters, would you fire them?

      No. Being a "supporter" is entirely different from being a surrogate, keynote speaker, huge money donor. Also: Not an employee.

      Would you fire an employee who donated a lot of money to Trump and spoke at the convention?

      Thiel is not your employee. He's your billionaire business partner.

      An employee is the closest thing to what a part-time partner is. So stop splitting hairs to evade the question. Would you?

      Yes I would fire Peter Thiel if he was my employee 😄

      So where exactly do you draw the line? How much do 37signals employees have to support Trump in order to be fired?

          Let's start with line being: 1) Registered delegate + 2) Keynote speaker + 3) $1.25m donor + 4) Active political surrogate.

          So you'd fire any 37signals employee who donated a lot to Trump, was a Trump delegate, and spoke at the RNC?

          I like this fun game, though. WHAT IF DONALD TRUMP HIMSELF WAS YOUR EMPLOYEE?!? Would you fire him? Would you?! 😄

          @scotcha1 @dhh I think it's funny that people think there's a right to protected free speech by employees inside of companies
