Flexport Founder and CEO Ryan Petersen published an article:
"For the past four weeks, I have been criticizing the U.S. government. The way these tariff policies are being implemented is so stupid that it not only harms our customers but also affects millions of businesses and consumers across the United States."
During this process, I never worried that I would be arrested or "disappeared" for criticizing the government. In fact, no one even asked me to keep quiet. We often take this kind of freedom for granted, but in reality, it is not the norm in many parts of the world, nor throughout most of human history. Our ability to enjoy such freedom is largely due to the foresight of America's founding fathers when establishing the Bill of Rights.
I once again deeply appreciate the preciousness of the First Amendment!"
You don't need to thank anyone; this is your right granted by law. Any speech within the legal framework is protected by law. Any intervention in speech within the legal framework is illegal behavior, and the law is the amulet of your rights.
