I've seen this posted a couple of times in comments, it seems like a reasonable investigation in to the recent shit storm

I usually actively avoid engaging in anything to do with US politics as it's pointless getting depressed by an awful situation I have zero control over; this post is not about fueling arguments or making us all feel worse, just determining if a useful tech company has gone to shit (TL;DR: probably not).

We wouldn't need to read tea leaves if people didn't go to Defcon 1 over a tweet. Political neutrality isn't a bad thing.

Are you genuinely not aware that Andy Yen produced more than just one tweet?

And if that's true, did you read the entire article that's linked here?

Also, to add to the fire here - what the fuck is political neutrality in modern day America. Political neutrality when one of the parties is doing Hitler impersonations on the daily isn't political neutrality it's passive support for the party.

It's that whole saying, if a Nazi sits down at a table with three guys and they don't object there are four Nazis sitting at a table.

I don't give a shit that they're based in Switzerland Every country has an extreme regressive party right now flirting or endorsing fascism. In Germany we have the AFD. Everyone has to take a stand everywhere.and they have to do so publicly, everyone but especially those people in a position of concentrated power like those leading a company or within the government.
