The fact that drug tests are normalized for jobs is fucking insane - Lemmy.World
and no one irl even has the decency to agree with me because it’s so fucking
drilled into the culture that these fucking BuNsInNesSes have a Right to do this
because it’s a bSUsniEss. like oh yeah they have an office building so they
definitely get to analyze my piss because they say they want to. sick fucking
freaks. preaching to the choir a bit on lemmy (or i would hope so at least) but
still
Thanks Reagan. Fun fact, in the mid 80’s Reagan’s administration did a big study to show how effective drug testing in the workplace was, and how much it raised productivity. When they got the results back, it found productivity had dropped, and workplace safety hadn’t changed. The results said the program was a complete failure. They tried to bury the report and not release it. Rolling Stone magazine sued the government to get a copy, since it was made with public money, and won. They were the only media outlet to publish the results.
Happen to have a link? That sounds interesting but my Google fu is weak today and couldn’t find it.
