...because it's really important that meteorology calculations are done with the correct conservative perspective, lest you predict the weather in too woke a way or start believing in climate change and other elitist liberal dogma?

What happened to the right to speak the truth?
It's not the left to speak.
Their truth.
Their alternative facts.
The actual truth is for snowflakes and liberals to get upset over.
This. All these losers champion free speech absolutism, and yet every single one of them tries their hardest to shut down dissent.
They know the slower among us will rally around the idea without thinking about it too much.

I'm honestly getting real fuckin fed up with this country
Good. I’m ready when you are, brother.
From the same people who scream and bitch and moan about their right of free speech. It's only their right apparently.

A lot of people here thinking the USA is speed running fascism here.
No, the USA was always an inspiration to fascism (just ask the remaining Native Americans as an example).
That's why it was able to adopt into it so quick. Not that hard to change a car to gasoline if it was already running on diesel.
Not that hard to change a car to gasoline if it was already running on diesel.
Is almost a good analogy, but that's not so easy 😅
Frying fat would have been better, because most older diesels run on it out of the box.

They really are speedrunning fascism this time around. They did have plenty of time to prepare out in the open and gained public support with no long term repercussions.
Remember when trump said he had no idea what project 2025 was and that he had no intention of implementing it?

ah, freedom of speech at its finest
Not supporting this but freedom of speech is freedom from prosecution. If you are flipping burgers and tell a customer your favorite category of adult film, your getting fired.
From what I searched, the meteorologist criticized Elon Musk on her private social media, not while working.
If you're flipping burgers, and later you get home and post online on a personal account about your favorite category of adult film, it's none of your employer's business.
I totally agree. Still nothing to do with freedom of speech itself. The 1st amendment.
I meant free speech, not the 1st amendment (I'm not even from the US). The concept of freedom of speech is relevant to this situation.
I believe that a company threatening to fire its employees based on an opinion they had in private or in a personal social media account is wrong. I imagine this isn't necessarily against the law, but should still be acknowledged as a form of censorship.
Of course, there are certain opinions that are absurd or even illegal(?). if a company relies on public image of its employees (not sure if i phrased this correctly) then there are situations where it's reasonable to fire the employee for an opinion, but since it's regarding opinions, this would be very difficult or impossible to define legally while still being fair.
I'm not exactly sure what my point is anymore so I'm just gonna stop arguing, but I'll maybe read some other threads for some insight on the situation
I do agree though some jobs like a meteorologist means you are on tv and affect the reputation of your business. You can't have actors on your TV show expressing opinions on social media that affect your bottom line. It's bad for business which means you can be fired. All about money sadly. That's censorship though, not freedom of speech unless your country has a different definition of the phrase than the U.S.
Freedom of speech and the First Amendment are two different things.
Freedom of speech is just that, free from government interference(look it up). You are referring to censorship.
Yep you are free to call out fascist your employer supports. And your employer is unfortunately free you to fire you. No free speech violations there. Now if they called in the government to take you off to a camp to be exterminated or re-educated. Once the government becomes involved it's most definitely a free speech / human rights violation. Will get there soon enough. Still plenty of reason to be outraged.
