I, for one, don’t like to hire people who were part of the irresponsible borrowing that led up to our latest great recession. I won’t hire someone who took out a mortgage he couldn’t possible pay back; failed house-flippers and home debtors. Nor anyone that worked selling real estate or mortgages. I want to contain the pain to those responsible for this mess.

The EEOC should be renamed the EOC — Equal Outcome Commission. See my blog on this at VDare.
