Are you comparing you at will employment with Google to convicted felons who’ve had their right to freedom stripped of them by a jury of their peers or a guilty plea deal?
- mikepurvis 5y agoI think the poster's employment is just context. The "inmates" here are the tech companies being held hostage by the NSA. But I'm not sure I really agree. At this point "bedfellows" seems like an apt description, given how feeble and ineffective their opposition (certainly publicly, anyway) to it seems to have been.
- alisonkisk 5y agoPlease don't violate site guidelines by posting "gotcha" comments that misinterpret other posters. Find a charitable interpretation. It's a metaphor, following the example of "bedfellows", which doesn't mean they are literally in bed together. Inmates and busineses alike are required to obey the government under threat of force.
