Economists are just a bunch of douche bags paid to defend the exploitation at all costs model of capitalism endorsed by the rich. you’re saying let’s keep minimum wage at a starvation level that makes most jobs not worth working but let’s keep stock buybacks going and executives making $2-5k an hour so they can buy another yacht and spend more on a weekend vacation than you or I will earn in 3 lifetimes of full time employment. Meanwhile the workers responsible for their profits can only afford to live with 3+ roommates in a squalid apartment. And millennial homeownership and reproduction statistics are lower than any other generational group in the last century

Seems obvious where the main problem lies there in and it’s definitely not paying people enough to actually have an incentive to perform labor. But instead of doing what’s right corporations now want to roll back child labor laws to illegally pay kids $6 an hour to work garbage retail jobs.

Corporations have been fueling inflation due to greed for decades and prices have risen through the roof but wages have not. It’s beyond hypocritical and downright delusionally biased against the working class to say that the cost of commodities goods and services must rise but labor is the one exception to that rule. If that doesn’t tell you it’s a rigged game you’re either oblivious or a shill for corporatist Wall Street military and prison industry profiteers.

Ok buddy people get butt hurt on Reddit. To quell our inflationary situation of over 6% for years. Things need to happen. People must consume less, rates had to rise, unemployment had to rise. Economists agree raising wages would be counterproductive to combating inflation.

Let’s let people starve and keep housing unaffordable. you’ve bought the dumbshit propaganda advocating against living wages paid for and supported by Wall Street grifters who make $2000-5000/ hour and who’s disregard of human life and insistence on undignified starvation wages coupled with relentless cost cutting are primarily responsible for the catastrophe in East Palestine Ohio

If we cared about inflation more then stock buybacks and dividends nixon never should have killed the gold standard but he was definitely one of the top 5 crooks of the century and since the gold standard was abolished our currency has devalued by over 6000% (the value of gold is the truest inflation metric since it has always been considered an inflation proof store of wealth)

One day, I was driving by Providence Place Mall and saw a Bonchon truck leaving the mall. It gave me hope, but I tried reaching out to their social media accounts and it's been a dud.

I dislike what the new Bonchon has done to most menus. But their chicken has been consistent and sooo good. I personally love the spicy chicken and I cannot find a replacement.

They're pretty good for the wings. Some of their other plates are hit or miss.

Yeah, Denden is very good, but don’t sleep on Sura KBBQ

If you haven’t tried it yet Hanju Kitchen inside the Royal Bobcat on Atwells absolutely smacks

I guess the only benefit I could if the state prevented companies from testing for THC is they don't want more people unemployed in the state, seeking benefits, but idk.

I think if I remember correctly you have to go to the Sportsbook at twin River and talk to the person at the desk if you’re signing up for the first time. I remember doing that years ago when I signed up

Further down in the article

>Pre-employment drug tests

>Employers are still free to discriminate against recreational marijuana users if they test positive on a pre-employment drug test, Parker said.

>"If they fail the drug test and have no medical note, the employer can rescind the job offer," Parker said.

If you're considering reading the Projo more, we're currently running a really good sale for President's day.

Thank you for posting this. The thing I'm worried about is if employers can still do mandatory drug testing for THC as a condition to hiring. Because while employers can refuse to hire based on a drug test, has the state made it so they can't drug test upon hiring? That wouldn't go over the federal law for THC use in that case, just make it harder. But going by whats here, it would mean RI hasn't made drug testing for THC for hiring limited or prohibited, sadly.

It would never happen within the context of your question. Maybe in a decade or more but I’m pretty sure we’re miles away from that. It’s still a drug in most peoples eyes and the only reason it became rec was because RI was losing hundreds of thousands if not millions across the border to Massachusetts. I work in the industry and the one I’ve learned in the 3 short years I’ve been in it, it’s all about money. So I guess it all depends on what benefits the state would get out of preventing private companies from testing for THC. At the moment I don’t see one.

Requires subscription, but I covered this exact Q.

>Now that recreational marijuana is legal in Rhode Island, what does it mean for employees and employers?

>Not a lot, say experts, as Rhode Island already has a drug-testing law that is among the nation's most protective of employees, and cannabis users get special protections under the law that prevent them from being fired for off-duty use.

>Medical marijuana users had already been protected by the state, which banned discrimination against them for using the drug.

>"From a strictly legal standpoint, I don't think much has changed," labor lawyer Matthew Parker said. Parker, with the law firm Whelan Corrente & Flanders LLP in Providence, mostly represents businesses.

.....

>The new law prohibits employers from firing, or disciplining, employees "solely for an employee's private, lawful use of cannabis outside the workplace" so long as they don't work while under the influence.

Thanks all for the responses. Maybe it's because I did time in the Navy that I don't revere military service as some sort of gloss over misdeeds, but I know that some do. I just never thought a sworn jury would let them sway themselves like that.

I hope the job I'm interviewing doesn't ask me to do a drug test. I'm detoxing anyway, but it would be nice not to worry about it. 🤞

even with the change in the last year, i think it's safe to assume that any employer still requesting drug test could and would use that to deny you. The good news is there's very few employers that aren't upfront about that sort of thing before you even waste time applying.

I guess the real question is if RI made it so you can't test for THC as a condition to employment anymore? Because it wouldn't supersede the Federal law but just make it harder for companies to test to disqualify.

Also. I'm not trying to discredit where you work, or accuse you personally of anything. I just know a lot of companies aren't transparent. I don't know how nursing programs work, what their policies are, or how they come into the convo about employment, in this case.

I guess to move on from Federal vs. State because we all know federal is above state laws, I should be asking what if RI makes it so employers can't drug test for THC as a condition to employment? Then it wouldn't supersede the federal law but just make it harder for companies to disqualify you.

I've been going since day one and it hurts me to say the quality has gone down in the last year or so, it's still good but not anywhere it used to be. Still worth a try

Companies have all the right to refuse your employment for failing a drug test. The federal government doesn’t care what state you’re in or if you have a card or not.

Y Noodle or Jayd depending on if your northern or southern in the state

It wasn't employment. It was a nursing program. I was a secretary, and it was the hospital's policy not mine.

Edit: Also, we very intentionally gave candidates a heads up so they could take action before the drug test.

Yeah, my fiance's got a new job over the summer and his job just said 'we know the law is about to change. Just don't come in high." Lol

I am just going by what I have read.... not in any way legal advice lol. But from what I have seen and a number of sites have clarified it that they can't use a test as a disqualifier. In that case they could do the same with alcohol etc.

From what I have heard anecdotally a lot of places of changed their policies to account for this even before the state changed the law.
