Drives home the point that leverage is really everything, and having some way to push back against a boss really matters.

There are a few details missing from this story that I would have liked to have known:

* What happened to Billy?

* How close was the store to ground zero?

* What ultimately happened to the workers who walked out? Obviously they weren't fired, but was there a disciplinary process, etc.?

Don't be led around like a slave to other people's money.

Think for yourself and f corporations.

Too many Americans falsely believe hard work, sacrifice, and personal risk will be rewarded when they are in-fact risking everything for next to nothing.

Exactly. To the corporation, you're "human capital stock." [0] Never forget that.

This guy has a decent overall point but you know he's a prick when he implies being able to acquire a big flag quickly means ignoring the need for acquiring masks.

Does he know the persons tasked with acquiring those things? Does he know that getting the flag delayed getting the masks? What if multiple people were tasked separately and the flag simply easy to get?

Then he goes on to assert that governors and CEOs are opening up too quickly: "before it's safe". Get over it, people. It's time to go back to work. It can and is being done well.

I don't understand this desire by many people to be remain in panic mode. Is it comforting or something? How bizarre...
