getting seated on a jury is something only the "middle class" can even afford, like, they pay you like 10 bucks a day or some shit, like my landlord would take that for an excuse
It is crazy how blatantly jury selection is discriminatory against workers.Jury selection should be one worker from each wendy's in a county. It wouldnt be perfect but itd be immensely more just
Often times having been or having known a victim of a crime is enough for a lawyer to strike you from selection. So imagine the population that leaves you with. I got bounced for occasionally working with the police as an ambulance once.
Ironically those who need it least get it, which seems like obvious grounds for the state to tax higher and compensate fairly for jury duty. I know several employers that only have middle class programmer/consultant employees that cover jury duty. Honestly if I got the right trial (some non-violent drug shit or whatever) and they didn't take peoples' phones during the trial/deliberations, I could probably do my job from jury duty.

My union covers it.
Having a union? Imagine that.
One of the many ways unions are rad.

"Has anyone here ever been sa'd?"
"Okay yeah we're just going to dismiss every woman"

I have been an ambulance in life
