Until they apologize for getting Rosanne canceled over a tweet I have no sympathy for them losing their jobs for the same reason. They called it "accountability". Ok. It still is. You set the standard. Live with it.

Funny how this papers censors opinions and facts but that's ok.

Because private companies have the right to suspend or fire employees who violate company values, which could lead to violence, lawsuits or loss of company profits.

So the company you work for has the authority to restrict your right to free expression on social media and fire you if you post something they disagree with?

Employee A inflates expense account and pockets $1000. Employee B posts/rants on social media company loses a $100k customer. Bottom line both instances lose money for company. What's to understand ??

And, many will. Sometimes, looking for a job is fun, sometimes it's not.

It’s disrespectful to Charlie. He didn’t believe in empathy and was not ignorant to the dangers of gun violence here. He would be disgusted by all of the crying people are doing. If you respected him you would respect his opinions abt this

Almost as bad an idea as replacing income taxes with higher sales taxes!

A new tax is not the answer to the city's budget problems. City leaders need to live within your means, like everyone else. Vote NO on the new taxes.

We already pay enough in taxes. The City needs to check it's priorities and pull funding from programs that truly are not conductive to the day to day lives of the general tax paying citizen. Focus on the core competencies, not liberal dream programs.

Most people already drive 75 MPH, at least. Trust the people.

A lot of people drive faster than the posted speed limit - 75 to 80 instead of 70. Increasing the speed limit will just push the actual travel rates higher - 80 to 85 instead of 75. With all of the heavy trucks on the road (some that drive slow), higher speeds are just dangerous.

Drivers are already driving 5 to 10 miles over the current limits so if it's increased I'm pretty sure they'll exceed the new limits.
