We incarcerate 25% of the world's prisoners and dont even come close to 25% of the world's population.
The oligarchy has realized that poor people are a drain on their subsidies, and dont really consume much, so they decided to throw a bunch of them in jail and make money off them that way.
depending on the circumstances i would certainly consider someone with a criminal record for a potential job. marijuana possession, etc.
but i would have a problem with someone telling me i could NOT consider someone's criminal record.
Depends on the criminal conviction. Depends on the job.
A child molester. I would be very worried if they applied at a local school as a janitor.
Also depends on the time since the criminal activity.
Generally I would be concerned with someone who cannot follow the law and repeatedly gets arrested. It's not bad luck. It shows very poor judgement.
If they have been clean for 5-10 years. Sure I'd give them a chance. People with criminal convictions especially violent or felony type of convictions have a high hurdle to overcome.
can they pass a back ground check for a security clearance ?? this includes their financial background...did they file bankrupsey in the last 3 years???
was the trangression 30 years ago...or 6 month ago???
since they will be dealing with potential hothead customers, was their transgression an agrevated assault or a road rage type incident??
was it a 30 year old possession of weed charge??
lots of questions...
fact is it had ANY TYPE of stealing or assault...then no they would not be hired
I haven't smoked pot for years. You have one false impression about what a druggie is. Especially because soon pot will be legal nation wide.
No, I know precisely what a "druggie" is. And it has nothing to do with what's "legal" or not.
A 'druggie' is someone who seeks to escape themselves by chemically altering their mind.
