The fact that drug tests are normalized for jobs is fucking insane
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

Not all jobs drug test in the USA, if you get onboarded for a job that does eventually test, refuse, and if they have an issue with it, decide if it's worth your time to fight them over it or walk away and start the slow job hunt grind again. You don't have to work for a company that tests, that is ultimately a choice you make. A common issue however with finding jobs that don't drug test is that you're going to be footing your bills for all standard healthcare plan costs and such. No biggie if you value your urine privacy!
What a bootlicker comment. "You don't need to be drug tested if you don't want to, just be prepared to leave most jobs on the spot losing any job stability and never have health insurance. No big deal" How's the leather taste?
My last job didn't test, the one prior didn't, and my current one doesn't. Job stability is as stable as being able to get hired, and I pay for health insurance like everyone else. My Jordan's are like yours, so neither of us wear leather.
I'm not American. I don't get drug tested. I don't pay for health insurance. I think the whole concept is insane, I'm surprised that your reaction is to accept the system and work within it as if it's fine without even acknowledging the inherent insanity.
I understand the confusion now, good for you! Be grateful you're not here! I think the concept is insane too and I don't accept it for what it is, but that doesn't change what adults have to do. Unless you're the do-what-you-want gov-dodging tax-evasion-suggesting riot-in-the-street kind of player. Just because someone is not happy with the systems in place does not mean they cannot take actions within it in a calm manner.
