38. Those days are coming again...
How many stories have we heard about companies not only banning smoking on company premises, but checking their employees for tobacco use OFF the clock and job site, too? Nicotine in your blood, you no workee here.

Of course, checking for nicotine is DoublePlusGood, because tobacco is bad. Let that same employer make you piss in a cup to check for THC or opiates and then it's not so right, is it?

How about company "Health Screens" to make sure you're not eating too much fat or drinking too much caffeine? Company "Health Department Representatives" spying on you to make sure you don't climb on the roof of your house to clean the gutters (safer to hire a "professional") or ride a bike bareheaded, or buy junk food at the grocery? All in the name of "Protecting their investment in you"

We're heading that way again...

And the Sheeple will swallow it, because The Corporation will tell you it's for cheaper insurance premiums....
