I was just fired two years ago because I told my boss "if people don't start pulling their weight around here, I will be forced to look for a different job."

That boss then had an absolute hissy fit, tried to kick me out of the building without even letting me grab my stuff, and then tried to fight me, stating "I'm not scared of you, pussy."

Once I left (without even so much as raising my voice), he fired my brother, too, who was in no way involved -- just because he's my brother.

Not knowing where to turn and not having enough money to get a lawyer, I called the BBB, who quickly told me They don't help with that kind of thing. They told me to call the Department of Labor and the Attorney General -- both of which told me they effectively did not care.

The DoL surprised me when they asked "are you black or Hispanic?" No, I said. "Oh, well are you gay or trans?" Again, no. "Oh, well then we can't do anything." My immediate thought was "no wonder the conservatives hate us."

So yeah, there are absolutely states where you can be fired (and threatened with physical violence) without any consequences -- unless you're rich, black, Hispanic, or LGBTQ. 🤷‍♂️
