I would be curious to know if these are direct Microsoft employees, or contractors. If they're the former (I assume so, or they'd be suing their own agency), their opportunities and and compensation start miles ahead of the latter. That's not to say that their complaints aren't valid, but this does seem a bit privileged, given the range at work in the MSFT global workforce.
Here is the site that is seemingly being run by the Plaintiffs or their counsel:

But I have to say, it is not "privileged" to refuse to abrogate your right to a non-hostile workplace just because some other worker in the world has it worse.
I mean, if your boss said to you "Knat, I know you are used to working in a climate controlled building, but we have to cut costs. At least you are not in the sun digging ditches, right?" Would you agree with him? Or would you want your AC back?
It is worth reading Ta-Nehisi Coates' entire twitter thread. It is most righteous. Tweet after tweet after tweet, just hammering Kelly's ridiculous claim. Totally schools Kelly. It is a thing of beauty.
I'd like some reporters to ask him about compromising with Al-Qaeda and ISIS.
Maybe they'll just combine them - call it a two-front war: IL DOUCHE & his minions versus everyone else, both here AND abroad.
The Resistance's battle cry can be: "Don't fire until you see the whites of their polo shirts!"

Fuck this revisionist era. 600,000 people died in that war out of a populace of 30 million.
Yes, it is crazy to expect that. The alternative is a straight up, "the rich get richer and smarter, the poor get poorer and dumber." Which is a fairness issue we should be trying to address, not perpetuate with our public monies. If the wealthy don't like it, they have private school options that aren't available to the poor.
Unless you want more underfunded schools in poor areas to really punish those damn poors. In which case, yes, they should get less. And maybe they should get dirty water, poor electrical services, no cops or fire service, and their roads should be dirt.
I can't say that Kelly is a conscious White Supremacist. It's more likely he's too ignorant to know he's a Racist, and too stubborn to contemplate it - which makes him like every Trump Voter in America today.
