That’s capitalism.

It only works when the government backs citizens over companies. Because a public company is required to put profits over everything else.

So there needs to be regulations getting passed to keep blocking whatever new bullshit someone set up.

All it would take would be requiring companies to have a start/end date on applications and only be able to hire from applications received in that window.

It’s already how the federal government does hirings. The government gets a lot of shit, but they’ve got one of the best unions around.
