Affirmative action always gets brought up as some sort of “gotcha” around hiring practices, yet A) quotas have been illegal since 1978 with University of California vs. Bakke; and B) white people benefit the most from affirmative action, especially white women in higher education.
Employers absolutely have prejudicial biases against various groups and they weasel their way around whatever laws are in place. In a world that makes sense, it’s like you said: central government operated job board. We already do government planning for things like libraries and roads. Why are we not doing that for every sector? We’ve seen what the fuck happens when private companies try and build roads, schools, and prisons. Why are they being trusted with job and labor allocation? How much waste is there because some good ol’ boys ignore qualified candidates while they search for some white failson?
Of course, it’s because the bourgeois run everything and we’re talking about something one step closer to the proletariat seizing the means of production.
