The main difficulty is to get employers to accept excons.

Like the grapes of wrath....all the folks move to where the jobs are, then you get a lot of bodies vying for those jobs and employers can then lower the wages to "non-livable" status because of all the available labor.......

Kinda like republican opposition to birth control...

The more workers, the lower the wages... the employers get rich real fast.

An employers dream.

This is why I distrust republicans, they are all about the rich getting richer at the expense of the average guy. The average guy cannot get a fair wage.

How does he propose that a) they sell their house - if they own one, or
b) how they get out of their lease if renting? Yeah I know there is a spoil sport in every crowd.

Has anyone here ever run a business? Hired and fired people?

I try to give people a chance that might not otherwise get one. 9 times out of 10 I get burned.

I had someone the other day tell me it was my responsibility to create a system for them where stealing was not a temptation.

Theater of the absurd. Nation of weak minds and getting weaker.

That is sad. It's a byproduct of a society that worships material wealth and excess with small thought to how it's gained. Our moral center as a society is weak...very weak..... And the pillars of our society set the example.

Point taken, but there's also a point to 'locks keep honest people honest.' A person who'd never break into a car might steal something from an unlocked one. Lots of honest people just have never come across a 'big enough' temptation.

I know of a very decent businessman who went to prison because one night he found someone else's deposit in the night depository. It's easy to say you'd do the right thing, but if the $10,000 is sitting right in front of you waiting to be picked-up?

From a certain point-of-view, the previous depositor's negligence put the 'honest' man in prison. Don't say he should be able to sue the careless guy, just making the point.....

I like you, but that is the most f*&ked up thing I have ever seen you post.

What is the context?

Is the person telling you in other words: You are too careless with your funds/property.

Fool me once---.
I believe in redemption, but it has to come from the inside regardless of the conditions. If trust can bring it forth, fine, but betrayal isn't a good start.
I also believe in an economic system that provides useful goods and services and the employment that encourages the commerce that makes the system work thru fair wages.

If the point is "character", it is made here. There are countless examples of folks in need doing the right thing, regardless.
