Funny how in one Lemmy post everyone is complaining that people get burned for life in the job market for making a mistake. Or how employers are evil for mandatory drug testing… And in the next one they get riled up because a company would dare hire a recovering alcoholic to ride a bike

I think it has a lot to do with whether you are helping them to rebuild their life, or exploiting their desperation.
Would not hiring them help
“Help” would entail treating them as equal, not paying them a fraction of worth just because they cant find work anywhere else.
Paying a living wage and providing social security for workers would help more. Two wrongs don’t make a right.
Well the original comment I was replying to worded it like these people should not be hired for these jobs, at all.
Of course I agree everyone should be free to pay them a better wage
