For people not reading the article, Twitter was facing a class action lawsuit, but they successfully sued to force employees to go through arbitration, which avoids a class action suit. Only problem is that arbitration rules say the employee has to pay a small fee for filing, but the company has to pay the arbitration costs. Twitter filed to force the costs to be split with the employee, but the organization that overseas arbitration said that's against their rules and has refused to engage in any arbitration activities that Twitter isn't paying for. The pricetag could be millions, and Twitter is simply not paying, so now the employees are suing to force Twitter to pay.

If this is how Muskrat runs his tiny operations on Earth, what kind of tyrant would he become as the ruler of another planet?

It's nice to see labor fighting back. Especially against odds stacked against them.

No surprise there. That's how rich stays rich

It's like, he doesn't know whether or not it's going to work, so delays paying anybody (except obviously the lawyers) as long as possible. When it really doesn't work out, nobody gets paid. If it somewhat works out, he negotiates the payment down. Do you want it, or do you want more delay?

That's exactly how you get wealthy. Screw anyone you can, threaten them with eternal lawsuits, and you can get a huge discount on labour and other costs. Trump was famous for pulling the same shit.

I'm a little surprised that Twitter can just refuse to come to the table without simply losing by default. But I suppose they wrote the terms of the arbitration agreement, so... not that surprised.

Parasite

Totally drinking the Gospel of Wealth Kool aid. You grind as much money as possible doing evil shit and then give a bunch of money away when you're old so people remember you well and you get to direct the world through philanthropy. Carnegie 101

It's not even just accumulating and giving that money away due to conscience. Nobody with a conscience could do what it takes to accumulated that large sum of wealth in the first place. You have to stomp on people and actively hurt the people around you.
