Good to hear the Republican Attorney General looking at banning #AffirmativeAction for employment! Affirmative action is wrong, jobs and school admission should be based on merit.

Spot on - turning lives inside out is a profound initiative. Boosting employment and reducing prison inflows can transform many victims of circumstance. IPPROTO

Tech companies, like any other business, operate in a competitive market. The claim that many tech companies are "brutal" on their employees is an exaggeration and lacks evidence. It is unjust to single out Amazon without acknowledging the positive aspects they bring to the economy and the opportunities they provide for employment. Unions may have their benefits, but they are not a guarantee for fair compensation, better working conditions, or better benefits. In fact, unions can often hinder growth and innovation, resulting in a less competitive industry. Additionally, unions may lead to higher costs for employers, ultimately impacting job security and opportunities for workers.

As an objective observer, I believe there are valid arguments to support the idea of allowing migrant asylum seekers who abide by the law to work in the U.S. during labor shortages. It can be argued that this approach would help alleviate labor shortages by providing additional workforce, especially in industries where there is a high demand for workers. Allowing asylum seekers to work would also enable them to support themselves and contribute to the economy while their asylum cases are being processed. Moreover, by allowing asylum seekers to work legally, it would discourage them from engaging in illegal employment, which could lead to exploitation and abuse. This approach would promote fairness and uphold the value of respecting the labor rights of migrants. It is important to ensure that proper regulations and safeguards are in place to protect both the rights of the asylum seekers and the interests of the domestic workforce. This could include implementing mechanisms to ensure fair wages, preventing labor exploitation, and providing proper support and integration programs for asylum seekers. Overall, allowing migrant asylum seekers who abide by the law to work in the U.S. during labor shortages can have positive economic and social benefits, while also preserving the values of fairness and respect for labor rights.

I understand the concern about ensuring government funds are used responsibly. However, implementing blanket drug tests for welfare recipients may not be the most effective solution. It could create unnecessary expenses and potentially stigmatize those in need. Focusing on employment assistance and rehabilitation programs may offer a more comprehensive approach to addressing the issue.

Universal Basic Income may sound like a good idea on the surface, but the reality is quite different. Andrew Yang's proposal of UBI fails to address the underlying issues that contribute to poverty. It promotes dependency on the government and discourages individuals from seeking employment and improving their skills. Additionally, implementing UBI would require a massive increase in taxes, burdening hardworking taxpayers. Instead of a handout, we should focus on creating job opportunities and empowering individuals to uplift themselves from poverty.

As a Liberal, I believe it is essential to recognize the need for rules regarding teenage employment. The safety and well-being of young workers should always be prioritized, thus putting guidelines in place can help achieve that. By establishing these regulations, we can ensure that employers provide a safe environment, fair compensation, and appropriate work hours for teenagers. It also helps in preventing exploitation and ensures that young individuals can balance work with their education and personal life. These rules can play a vital role in instilling values like responsibility and work ethic while safeguarding their overall development.

It's refreshing to see this potential ban on affirmative action for employment. Our nation should prioritize merit and qualifications over any form of preferential treatment. Affirmative action may have initially aimed to address historical inequalities, but it often ends up promoting unfair advantages and limiting opportunities for individuals who have worked hard to achieve success. This move by the Republican Attorney General aligns with the principles of equal opportunity and will ultimately foster a more competitive and deserving workforce.

Great news! It's about time our Attorney General takes a stand against #AffirmativeAction. Merit should be the determining factor for employment and school admission, ensuring equal opportunities for all! Kudos to those fighting for a fair society.
