Yup, it's just a 2000 flushes tab in the toilet tank causing that blue color.

I mean when I did it it was something the lady specifically poured into the bowl before I went in, I saw her do it. I do buy that it's just to keep you from using the water though, that makes sense.

Pretty sure they'd be fine with legalizing child labor regardless of anything else buddy

In a historic show of compromise and bipartisanship congress has agreed children can work on the conditions that they not be paid and work is compulsory.

Ask Florida, where they implemented drug testing for welfare.

https://www.tampabay.com/news/courts/florida-didnt-save-money-by-drug-testing-welfare-recipients-data-shows/1225721/

And the person applying for welfare has to pay for the test.

The things drug users will do to keep taking drugs makes me question the plan of making drug use difficult enough to make people stop. I mean, when your policies create a grey market for piss you have to wonder if maybe those policies are misguided.
if I freebase some meth it’s gone from my body in a couple days, but spend a weekend getting heavily wrecked on weed and it’s there for weeks. drug testing, like personality testing, is unfortunately a thing American workers have accepted because there isn’t a way to reject it.

by comparison, I worked tech support for the bbc in England for years and had access to almost everything and making people take a drug test was never even a fleeting thought

It does, as a concept

Your employment is voluntary though, so it can be contingent on a report from a for-profit testing center

You also have to pay for your own criminal background check in a lot of places


And of course there is no medical privacy for minors from their own parents who would legally have to consent to medical things for them (there are some exceptions to this in certain states, like birth control)

It definitely does, but children aren't people and don't have rights.

You should definitely not read about the unlicensed torture camps parents pay tens of thousands of dollars to to have their teenage children kidnapped in the middle of the night and taken to for years that are 100% legal.

childrens' privacy from their parents is virtually unrecognized in the US. even several single party dem states like illinois or massachusetts require that a minor seeking an abortion have one or both of their parents approve of it

minors don't have rights because the right of a parent to raise their children however they want iirc has been declared by the supreme court under its claimed supreme lawmaking authority as constitutionally protected and therefore restrictions on it are subject to scrict scrutiny

I'd guess it's an insurance thing, like insurance won't cover the exhibit unless you have taken reasonable steps to ensure one of the exhibitors isn't secretly a cat burglar who's gonna steal all the art or whatever.

Everyone who works for anything ever has to get a background check. Hell you have to get a background check to even rent an apartment. It's one of the fun invisible ways we cut off all possible opportunities from minorities, since guess who coincidentally tends to get arrested the most.

Lol yeah when the social credit score panic came out I was like “that just sounds like a credit score and a criminal arrest check”

That’s the fun thing, although I think they’re limited to convictions in some places, a lot of places they look at the arrest record regardless of how it all resolved

But yeah in this particular case I bet it's insurance because that's the level of "giving a gently caress" I'd expect for insurance compliance. "We need to background check you." "No." "Well we tried."

I remember reading that if you score high enough on the social credit score you get free/discounted healthcare services so actually ours is worse.

And yeah, when I got my last apartment the lady was like "if you've ever even been arrested, even if you were found not guilty or the charges were dropped, don't even bother because we're going to reject your application."

Neither. There are enough laborers to fill all jobs, and they are actively applying for jobs. But they are mostly all competing for the best jobs available. Once those are filled, they will compete for the next-best jobs available, and so forth. The small business tyrants trying to get by paying minimum wage will eventually have their jobs filled, if they can survive that long. Could be a year or even more.
