Why do these people stay in the US?
In Europe if you say that you were imprisoned for smoking pot, people will just laugh at the situation, because it’s so hard to believe.
- throwaway0a5e 6y agoIf you have a criminal record bad enough to cause employment problems in the US it's going to be as hard or harder to (legally) start residing in most first world countries, especially if you don't have a party in-country who's basically importing you to do some specific work.
- xiphias2 6y agoI love Cobra Kai, and the 3rd season was the first time I have seen a movie reference for this problem, which I think is a change in the good direction. At the same time even with non-violent crimes I make a huge distinction between stealing and marijuana use. I wouldn't want to trust my code base to anybody who has stolen anything in his life, as the downside for stealing the whole codebase is enormous. Regarding marijuana, who cares, it doesn't hurt anybody (except the passive smoking issues).
