  • There are more protected classes than economic status and race at the federal level and some states have expanded classes.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_group?wprov=sfti1#United_States

    You cannot be removed from a jury ‘for no reason’. A judge may remove you from a jury if they believe a juror has bias or contact toward or with either the defendant. Or if the judge believes you are unwilling or incapable of following the law.

    You can however be not selected for a jury via two means, a challenge for cause or a peremptory challenge. A challenge for cause is when the lawyer believes you have a genuine prejudice or bias against the defendant. A peremptory challenge is where lawyers can basically ask a judge to remove any juror from the selection pool, they only get a set number of these and they can’t violate the protected classes mentioned earlier, but they can be muuuuuch more loosely applied during proceedings.

    IANAL I just spent a few min researching and watched that one cgp video about jury nullification a while back. And voir dire is fun to say.

    Dr Bronner’s is a pretty wild company with an actually pretty decent philanthropic history.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Bronner’s_Magic_Soaps?wprov=sfti1#History if any company was gonna be open to progressive labor practices i would not be surprised if they were on the list.

    Also if by ‘supplied by employer’ they mean ‘as a treatment option covered under their health plan’ then a lot of people’s healthcare is ‘supplied by their employer (or government)’.

    Don’t get me wrong Dr. Bronners is still just a business and doesn’t need anyone’s defending. But Ketamine Therapy has shown a lot of promise as an experimental treatment and isnt being handed out to Amazon employees to keep the suicide rates at the warehouse down, yet.
