Discussion: Weinstein Co Fires Harvey Weinstein

yeah, this was a VERY eventful NYCC week. Not for all the right reasons, but eventful nonetheless

Seems right.

So one company fires a groping pervert.

Does the United States qualify as a company, so we can do the same?

Another one of Trumps running mates bit the dust. When can we expect Trump to pay the price for all his crimes? Soon , I expect him to go to his rewards within the next year. It can’t be too soon for me.

The board asked for his resignation and he wouldn’t budge. It tried to buy out his contract. Nope again. Harvey really thought he could survive this, even as everyone was abandoning him. The board, however, has to protect the company. There wasn’t another option.

Weinstein wasn’t fired for being a sexual predator. He was fired because the rest of us found out.

Interesting that Oliver brings up a british sex pervert to dis confederate “heros” Guess he can save a lot of production time and effort by just switching Weinstein for confederates. Good episode pointing out a lot of the BS in claims folks that support confederate statues use.

The latter is seldom a minor factor, eh? We found out, it being public, and an open and ongoing source of embarassment, eh?
