It doesn't matter. I don't need a jury of 12 peers to fire an employee, for any reason whatsoever, or no reason whatsoever, and I sure as shit don't need one to can a contractor.

People get fired from blue-collar jobs for much less, all the fucking time, without a shred of evidence beyond he-said-she-said. You don't even need to allegedly commit a crime to be fired on the spot from a lot of jobs.

That says more about our at-will, "Right To Work" employment economy than it does about the morality of firing this individual.

Nice. So, as I said, he loses his income without any proof that he did rape anybody. All cool and dandy indeed.
