    No. California has laws protecting employees from being fired for their "political activities". I didn't see anything overtly political about it.

    Well then, you may want to see if your insurance covers artificial retinas. Everything in that memo has been a political topic since before you were born.

    Except those laws were written to protect normal people instead of conservatives. No thinking person believes conservative speech should be protected.

    Normal people ? Please go on. I have to hear what constitutes normal for you and just how many groups you can offend with that.

    He needs to sue for violation of his civil rights.

    He wasn't fired because of his race or gender. He was fired because of his opinions. Unless his employment contract says otherwise, his employment is "at will" and Google can fire him for any legal reason, or for no reason. It is generally legal to fire someone because you don't agree with them, and that happens all the time.

    LOL Time for you to turn right to work bill.

    The man is a biologist are you honestly asserting there are no biological differences between men and women ? That there are no mental differences ?

    If that's the case what's with all the genders lately and transgenderism. Rather irreconcilable propositions there.

    So you're a software guy who thinks software guys should get more money ... and using government coercion is a legitimate way to achieve that.

    Hahaha laughable as always. Yep government coercion you mean a government that actually enforces it's borders and acts in the interests of its citizens. Quelle Horreur.

    Here's a little math for you. A fast food restaurant typically has 33% food cost, 30-35% labor cost, 10% or so occupancy/other. There isn't money to double wages there. (that's all the way down to the mom and pop that uses family as labor)

    Science is in a no-win situation here. If we solve the problem and reduce emissions and no additional warming or catastrophic consequences occur, people like you will say the science was flawed and will be less likely to heed warnings in the future. If we continue along our present course, catastrophic consequences will almost certainly occur. If the latter happens at least us "greens" will be able to point to those consequences and say, "you should have listened", but you'll probably just tell us it's a natural cycle.

    No the science says we are past the point of doing anything to change it.
