"This is like saying that people who've had DUIs can't work at bars"
In fact, people with alcohol-related felonies have a really tough time getting liquor licenses.
- kennywinker 11y agoYes, but this guy wanted to work at the front desk, not own the license. And society hasn't recently taken major steps towards legalizing DUIs.
- mc32 11y agoBut this is more like someone owning a liquor store selling to underage kids, thus breaking the law losing his license then getting denied a job at distillery for prior lapse of judgement.
- kennywinker 11y agoIt doesn't sound like that at all to me. In fact, it sounds a lot more like getting caught drinking underage, and then getting denied a job at a distillery. If we're being precise, it sounds like getting caught drinking when you're 20, then a few years later the drinking age is lowered to 19 but you still get denied a job at a distillery.
- mc32 11y agoMore apt would be getting caught making moonshine and getting denied a job at a distillery. The point is the same. Prior bad judgement may result in diminished future outlook.
- kennywinker 11y agoThe person in the article wasn't growing pot. They had a joint on them and were stopped by the cops. You're trying to escalate it but the point is they did something that we now consider not wrong, served their time, but are still being punished for it.
