or even if they are pro-gambling jeez would you never be able to work with someone you disagreed with politically


Having your job eligibility depend on your boss aligning with your personal morals on topics that have nothing to do with work is terrible

I'm surprised there's so much support for this in these HN comments.


Do you really want your labor enriching someone you think is a bad person? Do you want someone whose values go against yours being in a position of power over you?


Yes, I'm not so petty that I wish poverty upon everyone who holds a opinion different from mine!

I'm a live and let live kind of guy


And if they're not live and let live people? If they're working to ban or destroy something you value highly? To harm you or someone you care about?


thats reasonable, but its a question of degree. for me gambling and predictions markets dont meet that bar


Not wanting to work for someone or not wanting to hire someone is not equivalent to wishing poverty on them.
