  It does indeed, although I - and I'm sure many others - saw this coming and am surprised that no one pushing it did. I guess ideology blinds one to common sense, witness both trickle-down and Marxist economics when taken outside the realm of theoretical debate.

  Keep your stinkin' government hands off my Medicare.

  Age discrimination laws are a good example as well. They actually operate against older applicants.

  I get that they are suggesting racial discrimination here...But If someone has a criminal history of embezzling money, theft, violence, drug use, assault etc.
  
  I don't know...Shouldn't this be something the employer knows before making a hiring decision. Past history = future history???

  You can check and pull back an offer because of it. But you can't make somebody tell you before you make an offer conditional on a background check.

  Rather, the problem is that too many applicants — nearly half, in some cases — fail a drug test.
  
  Simple solution: Don't do drugs.
  
  The game of life isn't that difficult.
  
  Few years ago they had to fire a guy in a management position where I work. Somehow he thought being hopped on meth and driving an ATV illegally through national forest land was a good idea.
