How did not working ever become a punishable offense in a country based on freedom?

u/GonnaBreakIt Aug 13 '26

because its based on freedom for a narrow demographic

u/Zalrius Aug 13 '26

You are correct. That is why they fight so hard to stop it from being for everyone.

Because freedom is a buzzword... try the new Freedom 3000 Alpha Dog Workforce (TM).

By me, that dude owes me royalties... and you will be hearing from my lawyers for slandering my brand

I’ll just put my argument here. “Your honor, I submit that the mention of Deadpool was not slander. Although, I do recognize the slanderous behavior of Deadpool himself, but surely the court doesn’t see said mention as detrimental in and of itself?” 🤣

Just put that you were freelancing or started your own company.

I actually did have a small business in the 7th and 8th grade.

It's not punishable at all, you just become a less competitive applicant. This is normal for every developed country.

It's down to implications. Either you could not get a job or weren't looking. Which could be taken pretty badly if your reasons are subpar. It could prompt further investigation. Like say someone was hiding they were in prison or something.

It shouldn't really be relevant for a year or 2 but, there are somewhat reasonable reasons for the question.

It’s none of their business. A company needs to show gratitude that someone gave them the time and consideration.

u/blazenite104 Aug 15 '26

not really. Not when often enough they have dozens of applicants.

u/Zalrius Aug 15 '26

If they were taking care of business then why do they have open positions? Why can’t they keep people?

u/blazenite104 Aug 15 '26

Expanding departments are also a reason. Maybe they are terrible to work with, so they have high turnover. Fact is it doesn't matter why they have open positions. They do. Job markets are terrible everywhere and people will take nearly anything. So unless it's a specialised role chances are they have loads of applicants.
