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 I remember growing during the Cold war years and being told stuff like "in the USSR they just assign you a job and you're stuck there.' And then I grow up in capitalist America, Find that in many instances you get a job and you're stuck there. Not saying it's a one-to-one comparison but it's way more similar than you would like it to be.

@tom4okstate @Pwnallthethings Say what... It wasn't THAT bad in the USSR. Well, except that small part where they can arrest and jail you for the crime of not having a job.
