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

    2. DHH ‏@dhh 16 Oct 2016

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

    3. Paul Graham ‏@paulg 16 Oct 2016

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

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

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

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

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

      6 replies 12 retweets 85 likes
    8. DHH ‏@dhh 16 Oct 2016

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

    9. Paul Graham ‏@paulg 16 Oct 2016

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

    10. Paul Graham ‏@paulg 16 Oct 2016

      @dhh That would probably be illegal. More importantly, I think it would be immoral, and very dangerous for America.

      @dhh How would you feel if companies run by Republicans did the same and fired employees who were big Hillary supporters?

          @paulg Cool story making your actual business partner association with Peter Thiel about the persecuted employees in all of the land 👍

          @dhh After all, they'd have the same moral certainty you do. But can't you see the dangerous place that road leads to?

          @paulg You're willfully conflating billionaire Trump surrogate Peter Thiel with "employees who support Trump". False equivalence to the max

          @dhh @paulg Don't forget to immediately cancel / refund Basecamp subscriptions for all Trump supporters.

          @paulg A partner is not an employee, financial firms fire partners for not representing "character" interests all the time. Grow a spine.

          @paulg Thiel is part-time, paid commission, thoroughly at-will. Most firms won't hesitate to bump VCs who aren't a good match for the fund.

          @paulg @dhh Firing someone for having a different viewpoint than you: not ok. Doing/saying/advocating racist/sexist things however...

        @paulg @dhh The difference btw. Trump and Hillary is that she's not laying waste to the basic norms that democracy itself depends on

        @paulg @dhh @laura so no one has a right to support who they want in this country unless it is your side? Irony is strong in this one.

        @paulg @dhh is not about the candidate or what affiliation this one has. Is about all the bigotry, racism and hate this person is inflicting

      4. Eddie from SF ‏@EdMalabar 16 Oct 2016

        @paulg @dhh fired because they support a candidate that makes the *business environment worse*, not because of party
