DeSantis has been trying to outlaw wearing clothes that don't "match" your sex while routinely wearing high heels. It's reasonable to ask about this.
Can you give an example of the bias you're referring to in the article?
This is an understandable sentiment, but telling everyone about the charges for which this person has served their sentence in order to rally the rest of the workplace to look for ways to get them sacked is super-likely to see you face consequences for bullying.
If you don't want to work with this person, consider explaining the circumstances to HR (noting that your friend was a victim), and say it'll be too traumatic to work alongside them. This seems like a reasonable request to me, which should be accommodated - particularly if HR are already aware of the conviction.
If you want vengeance, figure out a way that isn't going to put your livelihood in jeopardy. Don't squeeze more negative consequences out of an already shitty situation.
Finally, you need to consider the society you're advocating for - if we're abandoning the rule of law to keep people out of work and unable to support themselves after serving their time, we're relegating them to be either wards of the state or homeless. We've already seen the issues caused by felons being barred from voting and its interplay with racial and political dynamics - how do you think manufacturing a desperate criminal underclass will work out for society?
Where I'm from, the median house price has risen 600% relative to the median income in the past 50 years.
That means the deposit we pay today is the equivalent of the entire 30 year mortgage of the people calling you lazy.
A question for the genocide deniers that'll pop into this thread to spout their monstrous nonsense...
Can you point to a way in which the actions, policies, or rhetoric of the Israeli government meaningfully differs from those of Novemberpogrome-era (Krystalnacht-era) Nazi Germany?
This isn't pointed at any individual, so I'm not even putting you on the spot - this is an opportunity for you to bring your best answers.
Storming the capitol will get you shot with overwhelming force... just not if you're a far-right extremist - that kind of treatment is historically reserved for the leftists and minorities fighting for equal treatment.
I've been under general anaesthetic 3 times in my life...
The first time was at a teaching hospital - I know the patient before me had created a bit of a bloody mess. One of the juniors was struggling to fit the bracket that would keep my cannulated arm from flopping off the table - a senior came over and fixed it, then asked the junior
"Have you changed your gloves?"
"uhhh ...no?"
"CHANGE YOUR GLOVES!"
The last time I went under, I was chatting with the anaesthetist as he was prepping to put me under - seemed like a nice guy, but a bit of a loose cannon. As he put me under, he said something along the lines of
"We'll take care of you - this was the stuff that Michael Jackson was on."
"...wait what?"
Remember kids, if you see someone shoplifting or switching the barcodes at your big-box self-checkout: No you didn't.
Not pictured: The carnage inside the train as the masses of regular taxplayers get thrown around in the process of protecting the wealthy.
Because smugly choosing the midpoint between a brutal fascist autocracy and greater worker enfranchisement and equity makes more sense than just picking the good option.
They just view both as equally bad
They're objectively wrong according to just about any metric you might care to examine.
After Musk disabled Starlink to aid Russia, a hostile state in their efforts to invade a sovereign democracy, it should have been clear to everyone that Musk poses a very real security threat, and Starlink should have been seized and nationalised.
Reminder: China isn't communist - it somehow cares about worker enfranchisement even less than the US.

How's protecting those kids by putting them in danger going?
Oh - a kid you wanted to kill us dead - all part of the plan.
These lawmakers are knowingly lying for personal gain, and to kill those they don't like - including kids. They're fucking demons, and their supporters are either as bad, or mentally deficient.
