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.

@Pwnallthethings Sadly an international problem (not the health care part) because if you are on a visa anywhere you are more vulnerable than anyone else. If your visa is tied to a specific employer then you are really vulnerable. This is how most countries do it. 😞 The US is just the worst case because it has SO many foreign workers and makes getting a better visa/permanent residence so hard.
