discrimination can be for rational or irrational reasons. i agree it’s not an inherently bad thing, though people today only seem to use it negatively. they don’t see that making choices isthe same thing as discriminating.
it’s like they aren’t taught what similies are, or even know what a thesaurus is for.
i am for discrimination for rational reasons. i think it’s stupid to discriminate for irrational ones.
but we all have to make choices, therefore we all have to discern/discriminate to make those choices.
Regardless of the whether you or I agree with another’s discrimination or choice, that person is free to choose as he sees fit as long as it doesn’t interfere with another’s freedom.
IMO, the federal government is also acting unconstitutionally when they interfere with a private company’s freedom to discriminate and choose as well.
One may think that is frightful because it would allow companies to hire and fire at will (bound, of course, by the contractual agreement with its employees).
Yes, freedom allows unfairness. But the alternative is worse - government forced “fairness” according to some self-interested politician’s or bureaucrat’s ambitions and priorities.
A society built upon the individual’s freedom to choose (discrimination) is a healthy society that respects the rights of individuals to make their own private decisions.
As Milton Friedman said, “A society that puts equality ahead of freedom will have neither. A society that puts freedom ahead of equality will have a great deal of both.”
