Regulations on hiring illegals have hidden implications

2018-11-21 00:04:55 UTC  

We were sued once by the state because we accidentally hired one who had all the valid paperwork and passed a background check.

2018-11-21 00:05:16 UTC  

I agree — don;t hire them. But law has unintended consequences.

2018-11-21 00:05:20 UTC  

It’s not a magical wand.

2018-11-21 00:05:37 UTC  

And before I’m criticized for hiring a Mexican, the state requires we are diverse.

2018-11-21 00:05:45 UTC  

Or else we get sued....

2018-11-21 00:05:49 UTC  

They got that right first. And they got that right because they grew up in unfettered capitalism, and amassed so much wealth that they were able to BUY THE GOVERNMENT

2018-11-21 00:06:25 UTC  

@Virgil Exactly.

2018-11-21 00:06:26 UTC  

How can you purchase government pull in the economy if they have no power to exercise control over it to begin with?

2018-11-21 00:06:53 UTC  

Money is power

2018-11-21 00:07:07 UTC  

If you have enough money, you buy power

2018-11-21 00:07:08 UTC  

They do have power to exercise it unless we go full ancap

2018-11-21 00:07:09 UTC  

Interesting debate, of course. But please do understand that for every law, there is often an unintended consequence.

2018-11-21 00:07:22 UTC  

I wish it were a magic wand.

2018-11-21 00:07:38 UTC  

And that all we need to do is pass X law to control bad behavior.

2018-11-21 00:07:46 UTC  

That doesn't mean that lawlessness is better. "Why even try?"

2018-11-21 00:07:56 UTC  

I haven’t called for that.

2018-11-21 00:08:14 UTC  

we should do isidewith

2018-11-21 00:08:16 UTC  

it'll be fun

2018-11-21 00:08:45 UTC  

I’d enjoy that.

2018-11-21 00:08:50 UTC  

This debate is about unfettered Capitalism

2018-11-21 00:09:01 UTC  

Capitalism does indeed still have laws.

2018-11-21 00:09:07 UTC  

Akin to lawlessness

2018-11-21 00:09:10 UTC  

No.

2018-11-21 00:09:15 UTC  

Unfettered

2018-11-21 00:09:18 UTC  

Lawless

2018-11-21 00:09:38 UTC  

You cannot have Capitalism without legal protections on property rights.

2018-11-21 00:09:45 UTC  

And protection from force and fraud.

2018-11-21 00:10:01 UTC  

There are legal preconditions. Without those, we aren’t discussing capitalism.

2018-11-21 00:11:10 UTC  

I'm talking about putting restrictions on the system itself, not the restrictions inherent in the system

2018-11-21 00:11:11 UTC  

Perhaps we should have agreed to a definition before starting 😉

2018-11-21 00:12:01 UTC  

I'm taking isidewith right now

2018-11-21 00:12:05 UTC  

someone redpill me on fracking

2018-11-21 00:12:11 UTC  

not sure how to answer that question

2018-11-21 00:12:45 UTC  

oh okay

2018-11-21 00:12:45 UTC  

Basically they pump food grade detergent between layers of stone underground

2018-11-21 00:12:49 UTC  

Fracking is cool, it was invented by the soviets.

2018-11-21 00:12:50 UTC  

thanks

2018-11-21 00:12:59 UTC  

You can actually drink the stuff

2018-11-21 00:13:16 UTC  

They had to meet quotas so they found new ways to extract petroleum.

2018-11-21 00:13:26 UTC  

The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels is the best book on the topic of various fuels I’ve read.
