Or how about ppl who don't go to jail. I am sure there are plenty of those who need help. So if going to jail for 2 years means I will get a more help and opportunity then I otherwise would get, maybe it is a good tradeoff.



Or how about we stop shaming people for contributing to causes they find worthwhile, even if they're not contributing to causes we're personally, individually invested in.

I think the reason you're talking about this in the hypothetical instead of doing it is because you know it isn't a good trade off and you're being incredibly glib.


Congrats, you've just described nearly every other company's hiring procedure...


Okay, go to jail for two years. Please let me know how you fare after.
