It really depends on how much you need that job to like
Not be homeless
And how hard it was to get the job in the first place.
You can make your legal rights count if you have options.
If you don't, you let your boss walk all over you and thank them for it.
Because they don't want the workers voting.
If you "can't go to the ballot because you need to work" you are a plebeian, and so they have a way of excluding you while technically not excluding you.
A lot of modern oligarchy is powered by these technicalities. Technically everyone has a "right to" participate in the system, but the whole apparatus is rigged in such a way that in material reality only the same nobility caste that has called the shots since the bronze fucking age gets to call the shots.

Something something "the power of god and anime on my side"
CS Lewis did it for them with Jesus' lionsona
Or push it to a file, just in general. That way if something goes tits up you can still check it later.
"Jaywalking" being a crime is such a fundamentally brainrot thing
The law here in Brazil, not that anyone follows it, but it basically follows the logic of "the smaller you are, the more of a right of way you have". I.e. theoretically, a car should ALWAYS stop or slow itself to save a pedestrian or cyclist or even a motorcyclist
.... Again, not that anyone follows it, but it IS on the paper.
Dictators generally like to push a "hard man" image and don't like anything that might make them look "soft"
Back when my country was a dictatorship (thanks for that, America) there was a photo of our president playing football with some kids that got banned because he looked too nice in it.
I feel like Microsoft fully intends to remove the TPM 2.0 requirement in the nearish future
Otherwise it wouldn't be so easy to disable when writing an iso to a USB drive.
Looking at it from a capitalistic point of view, they gain nothing by keeping people from installing their OS on the long term, the lock out was just for the short-term gains they got out of OEMs selling new computers for Windows 11 and such.

Puts a smile in my face how my old tech appreciation thread sorta became a technology connections fandom thread by consequence.

Translation:
Riot Police watches as a patriot (read: fascist) gets into a brawl with Spider-Man, while a dildo flies by, and Mano Brown (famous rapper) films it all.
Just an insane event from the annals of my country's history.
A Brazilian RAINBOW boa that had been assigned male at birth gave birth to 14 babies.
In the middle of June.
Happy ***ing Pride Month
The thing is
"The law says it has to happen" doesn't mean it happens.
And the weaker labour protections are in your country, the more bosses can walk all over their employees.
In the US, with their so-called "at-will" employment system, you can be fired at any time for any reason, and if you need the job to like, live, you won't even bring up your legal rights.
Mind you even on countries where polling happens exclusively on Sunday (like mine!) there are other subtle ways The Poors ^tm^ are kept from enfranchisement. "Voting happens on a work day" is just one of the ways it happens in one of our world's oligarchies.
