99.67% of Americans don’t live in Montana.
99.67% of Americans can be fired for no reason given.
When I read on this subreddit "and I can be fired for no reason because I live in an at-will state" I just want to people to wake up. You can be fired for no reason given because you’re American.
It feels like the "At-will state" BS is just to make it seem like the whole country isn’t that bad. That surely there are other states with worker protections.
Nope, just Montana. A whooping 0.0033% of all Americans. All the 49 other states are at-will.

I am frothing currently about the success of the term "fiscal conservative," which sounds so obviously good that, so far as I can detect, people not only think it's a core value that requires no argument, but they don't bother to think about what meaning the GOP attaches to it. From which one might could go on to thinking about (1) whether what they man by fiscal conservatism is a good idea, (2) what they themselves thought it mean or should mean, deeper down, and (3) how a nation could go about that.
At best people argue about whether the GOP are "real" fiscal conservatives, good grief.
