      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?

      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?

          No, I said I'd fire Peter Thiel. The any character or cut-out board. That guy in particular.

          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

          are we talking about employees evangelizing trump internally or externally on their own time? Thought it was external

          I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think it matters. Most US employees are at will and can be let go with or without reason

          you must stop thinking in abstract terms. This is an emergent catastrophe that must be addressed on its own terms
