   And corporate "policy" to mop up the balance. Any job whatsoever can be   
   denied on the perogative of an employer, and they are usually pricks about   
   it. I was surprised by one asshole who actually stared yelling at me for   
   having the audacity to fill out a job app. That was funny. I get all kinds   
   of reactions out of folks. Good churchgoing folk.   
      
   There are certain jobs which are offered to felons through temp agencies -   
   usually hazardous work like chemical related or other hazardous work which   
   nobody else wants. These employers are cutting deals with their pals in city   
   hall to accept felons as if they were radioactive waste that needs to be   
   processed.
