Definitely don’t exercise your rights, especially when someone is infringing on them.
Exercise your right
Get fired for not being at work
Is it wrongful termination? Absolutely. That's not much comfort when you're unable to make rent this month and can't afford to sue for a barely above minimum wage job.

Sometimes food and shelter are more important than your rights. I wish I were nobler but that has been the fact before for me.
Never missed an election though.

Absolutely correct.
