2020 already feels like a train-wreck. The next thing will be caffeine... after that will be non-hiring based on DNA predispositions.
- gxon 7y agoIt's a rather large leap to go from discriminating against people who consume a thing by choice to discriminating against their DNA that they have no control over.
- nitrogen 7y agoIIRC there is a law specifically prohibiting DNA discrimination, so that law would have to be repealed first.
- inetknght 7y agoThere's laws specifically prohibiting a lot of things. That doesn't stop those discriminations from happening.
- goldcd 7y agoBut if you were say reference a paper, that indicates a genetic predisposition to addictive substances..
- snikeris 7y agoCaffeine seems like a stretch, but I wouldn't be surprised. We're becoming more aware of the health implications of insufficient sleep, and the socialization of medicine has governments taking on the financial burden of people being irresponsible with their health.
- jandrese 7y agoI thought you would mention the drone strikes on foreign high officials (not terrorists). It seems like a story that should be getting a lot more airtime.
