Definitely don’t exercise your rights, especially when someone is infringing on them.

Exercise your right
Get fired for not being at work

Is it wrongful termination? Absolutely. That's not much comfort when you're unable to make rent this month and can't afford to sue for a barely above minimum wage job.

It's fucked up. But it's the reality in the US.

Sometimes food and shelter are more important than your rights. I wish I were nobler but that has been the fact before for me.

Never missed an election though.

You’re not wrong. I also suspect that most of the eligible voters who decided to stay home were not in a food or shelter crisis.

Absolutely correct.
