Or why do they care if I get stoned on my spare time? Just a corporate policy. A lot of times they like to use drug tests just to get out of paying workers comp. Some companies won't even let you smoke cigs cause of the health costs. Welcome to corporate America.

My sister is trying to open a fast food franchise and is in the part of the process where they do a credit check. She has decent credit and still that's her biggest concern. I know if she gets the franchise that would make her a dirty capitalist to some of you but **** it. I don't care.

Get money any way you can imo. Until you discontents finally launch the revolution and create a better system, that's all there is to do. Life is short.
