Unfortunately this was in Ireland so it may not be replicable in the US.

God fucking damnit. I was about to celebrate.

Still worth of celebration, any workers victory should be celebrated.

You're right. Thanks for re-framing it. It's awesome that someone went up against that rich asshole and won.

You should still celebrate. It’s a win for the working class collective.

A highly paid exec is hardly an example of "working class collective".

Unless you're an American Twitter employee— in which case, my condolences— I don't see how this is less worthy of celebration.

To be fair, there are 34 other works dismissed this way in Ireland - so at least the potential for further damages is schadenfreudific.

It's unfortunate they couldn't use a Euro figure which would have made it much clearer.

It's funny how USAians think of themselves as the most "freedom". Not even close.

But it's sad how everywhere else has to fear imperialism, colonialism, etc.

It makes a lot more sense if you reframe it as freedom for rich white landowners in the 1800s to not have to pay taxes to King George, not so much for the peons, paupers and slaves.
