No country is publicizing what checks they do for a high level security clearance check unless they want to give bad actors and easy way to beat their checks. What country is this and whats the exact law you are referencing? If you can provide me direct evidence for that I’ll eat my words but I think you are misunderstanding something if im honest.
I mean maybe if they have an investigation and they want to use that information as evidence sure that would be illegal to use but for background checks any of that information is fair game if they are able to get it. Like if your terms of service specifically say they wont give any information out for any reason, maybe you can sue them if you can prove they got the information with your name attached directly instead of it being sold after being anonymized in aggregate then another company/data broker aggregating other data on you to infer who’s data belongs to who with device footprints then selling that to the government as a service which i mean good luck. But most likely the terms you sign say they will hand over data for criminal investigations or matters of national security to government entities which they can state background checks for high level clearance positions is a matter of national security.
I think they are trying to say trickle down can work at lower levels of class, i.e. giving money to the middle class will filter a little bit down to the lower classes. But I still doubt that in our current world, like maybe IF there were more small business and IF those businesses would pay their employees more given more profit coming then maybe but one there is a lack of small businesses for common commodities in a lot of regions, and two those small business owners tend to act like corpos now and my assumption is they would hoard that increased profit especially with how shit the economy has gotten. With a lack of stability in todays economy even the most well intentioned small business owners operating costs could swing way too high at a whim. So even for them saving extra profit as a rainy day fund to keep their business alive in those economic down swings would be crucial to staying afloat. Which again just kinda negates the premise of trickle down working at any level even more.
All of this just further points out the only solution is trickle up as giving a poor person money will always circulate upwards. With that, now they can afford more of life’s necessities and even some luxuries once they can become comfortable. All of which will filter into profits for businesses and spur the economy, create more jobs, etc. Its ridiculous that such common sense seems devoid from policy, like all these companies could do so much better without all this greed. I bet in the long run the savings from not needing to fund bunkers, private protection, bullet proof vehicles, enhanced security, etc. in addition to the economic boom of people being able to actually afford to buy things if the uber wealthy just didnt try to act like parasites would pale in comparison to what they get by from a 8-10% break on these taxes in the short term before the economy slowly grinds to a halt and any profit they got starts slowly dissipating more and more as no one can afford to buy anything.
