All well and good for you yankee doodles. Still illegal here in the UK.

I had to quit when I started a job that tests.

Still illegal in many places in the US. I just happen to live in a state that is legal.

Since I'm close to a state border, I only need to drive about 20 minutes to be somewhere it's illegal again.

And if you live in an "at will" state, they can just fire you even if it's legal.

Sidenote: "at will" employment is the biggest sack of bullshit that employers convinced people is totally normal.

Im hopeful that the US, EU, and UK legalize it within the next few years. I'm realistic about the chances, I know how the older generations of politicians are, but I still cross my fingers.
