One thing that's getting a little lost in this mix, is that some of the people desperately holding on at Twitter are because they are trapped by either healthcare or visas.

That there are systemic traps that trap workers in America so they feel unable to move freely to new employers who want them and would have better pay or conditions is *nuts* and deserves a lot more attention than it gets.

It's one thing fearing that you'll lose your salary. It's another that you'll lose the healthcare of yourself and your family or be *literally deported* if you leave.

@Pwnallthethings No idea what health insurance was at Twitter, but it’s Open Enrollment until Dec 15 for ACA. Even if it weren’t, loss of employment is a qualifying event, so people who lose their jobs can sign up at any time. If they’re not offered continuing health insurance, the Twitter folks should go to their state’s healthcare exchange to find plans. Preexisting conditions *don’t matter* - the only questions are age, dependents, tobacco Y/N, and pregnancy Y/N.
