>A handful of these small business owners have bravely spoken to journalists from the Wall Street Journal and CNBC[...]But the vast majority are hesitant to speak to journalists as it might give their competitors free intel or make their employees nervous that they might lose their jobs.
This seems a tad overblown? "brave", "free intel"? Why would we need to hear the same thing from thousands of small businesses? This stuff is all over the industry, but employees are oblivious unless their company is explicitly interviewed?
It's a bad law, but I'm not sure what is interesting about this Tweet.

- sokoloff 3y agoAs an employee, if I hear my CEO/CFO saying how this law makes it hard to employ SWEs, I will be likely to worry about my job. I pay attention to news coverage and interviews of my company execs, whatever they’re talking about. I don’t pay attention to all other company execs talking about tax law.
