Disney was probably inundated with demands from other on air talent to reinstate the employee. They then made the calculated judgment that maintaining good employee relations was on balance better served by putting the employee back on the assembly line. This is all usual and standard business. Anyone on here that has ever worked a job has contract that says what they can and cannot do while in the employ of the company.
So now we know the reality. An employer, Disney, felt an employee, Kimmel, was damaging their business, let's not forget the point of an employee is to make money for their employer, and as a result took corrective action with the employee. Who was not fired. If a waiter at a restaurant was offending the customers, he would have been fired. Kimmel was treated very kindly and will continue to receive his paycheck. Looks like the wailing about free speech missed the mark

Not saying that did happen, not saying it didn't, but Citadel is central to any conversation around equity market structure.
When is it so vital that Yellen, who is an economist and former Fed official and not an expert at all in equity market structure, so vital to be involved in this investigation? What expertise does she have to no one on the SEC staff has?
Whether or not she should have accepted the fees is not relevant, the point is she should recuse herself from any investigation into companies that she has a personal business relationship with. That is basic ethics. What is the reason she should not recuse herself?
Looks like a very cool project. Slightly off topic question, is there a reason the email providers like FastMail or Protonmail don't just include XMPP as part of their bundle?
