used to be the case before the government was gutted.

Fortunately this would be handled by state government, which is cold comfort if you live in the half of the country that is governed by people who hate you for having the audacity to be poor.
In places like Florida probably this department runs a blacklist of people who complained to be distributed across HRs.
Florida got rid of that department in 2002.
I live in Indiana. MAGA governor, supermajority republican house, senate, and judges.

And, no, they do not care one bit about workers, renters, and the lower class. I'm solidly middle-upper class now. Home-morgage-r. Make remote 160k, which is amazing for the area.

I also live in 1 of 3 liberalish areas. Amazingly, theyre worse in things like FLOCK, taxation, gun rights, speech rights, jail decency (opposition to ACLU), and other amendment rights.

I dont sit in their pet issues. I dont matter. I likely won't ever matter.

Same game, different team.
This is under state jurisdiction, not federal.
