Arguing about it on Slack isn't going to fix any of it though

  It's venting. It's bonding with coworkers who also feel their world is collapsing. Hard to focus on work, talk about the preso when, for example, people are storming our Capitol.

        Did you even read the article? It doesn't work.

    I don't think the venting will be beneficial if it ends up in a debate. Talking about abortion will be more likely to stir up a debate than talking about the storming of the Capitol.

  It depends on what "fix" means. It could get people more informed, involved, etc. Banning political speech is a great step toward convincing employees to unionize, so I applaud Meta for this, though.
