Google fired 28 pro Palestine protesters

They were holding a sit in to protest Google's contract with Israel, not only weren't they working themselves but were blocking others from doing their work. Google sure solved that problem, now they have no connection to Google and the services the are providing to Israel so their conscious are clear.

Hiring is incredibly tight, and no company wants to hire a known ass ache.

The dildo of consequences frequently arrives unlubed.

Of course, they'll sue on some grounds.

Just not Google's.
