To do this, they'll probably have to set up a department staffed with doctors, accountants, lawyers and nurses, acquire or construct building space, establish a testing lab, purchase the necessary equipment and supplies, place appointments during the work day....
Yeah I thought drug testing has repeatedly been found a wildly inefficient use of money. It always costs way more to do all the tests then whatever they lose by having someone who’s using work for them. Double stupid since most people are gonna just get busted for weed cuz that’s basically what the test is for
Yep. They did this in some states for welfare recipients if I remember right and found a lower incident then in the general public and it cost way more than it saved!
The thing that seemed obvious to me is: If you are on welfare you don’t have “a lot of money”, drugs that you get tested for take “a lot of money”. You want to root out drug problem go after rich people. They have the means.
