    If the debt to society is paid… Then that shouldn’t be held against someone. Maybe a protected class against discrimination?

    Even misdemeanors can be hard. I know I’ve been turned down for jobs based on my two arrests for disorderly conduct years ago. They’re not felonies, but they show up in a background check.

        I’ll check, but I’m pretty sure they’re still there. I think you can get a lawyer to have it expunged, but I don’t think it just drops off on its own.

        Edit: Nevermind, it costs like $30 just to check this, and I already have a job I like so forget it lol

      “Have you ever been convicted of a felony?”

      “Did you know that wage theft is a felony? Let’s stop measuring lawbreaking dicks and get me on your payroll.”
