One of the themes this poster shares is ageism. There is tons of hiring discrimination against older people (e.g. 40+). He said something about that being mostly legal. But even if the government doesn’t specifically prohibit it, I suspect many of these companies have statements on their websites claiming they don’t discriminate in general or don’t discriminate on the basis of age. If they advertise their hiring isn’t ageist, but it is, that’s fraud.
BTW, if you disagree with me about policing big companies, I suggest you read r/antiwork. Just include it in your regular internet browsing for a few weeks. Don’t post anything there; just listen to people’s complaints about companies. If you still disagree with me after that, I’d love to hear your reasoning.
One thing I learned recently from reading r/antiwork is that, besides fraud, another widespread problem is wage theft. Wage theft tends to involve fraud in some way, but it’s also partly something different (theft).
