Up top, I promise that this episode is not more politicized dribble. I hear it everywhere, every day, and I just will not make room for it in this show. Instead we'll be discussing the candidates who are so often looked over. Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts. My guest today is David DeLong. David is on a mission to show the US, and by proxy other countries, that we do not have the labor shortage that we think we do; by introducing us to alternative options. For example: 1 in 8 adult men in the US has been convicted of a felony, and that history alone eliminates you in most job application software. However, a one-time offender (with more than five years since release) is statistically far less likely to break the law or be arrested than any other employee in the company. So let's reevaluate the opinion with this new data: Maybe you want more people with one-off convictions in your company, since they are likely safer and less likely to leave your team if given a chance.

So what do you think after hearing this? Would you advocate for any of the previous people to join your team? Why or why not? In ranking news... July is upon us, and the global ranks are as follows: 1. The United States, with Wisconsin, California, and Oregon at the top. 2. England of the United Kingdom, just barely over Scotland. 3. Ireland. 4. Australia, with Queensland ahead for now. 5. Myanmar. That's it for this week! Have a great week, a great weekend, and I'll see you all back here next week for another new episode!
