    As an Australian, I really don’t understand why the USA has a fucking PRISON INDUSTRY, like for profit corporations trying to get as many prisoners as possible so they can get that sweet sweet money.

    Fuck me, if every single aspect of life has a corpo behind it, there’s bound to be endless lobbying to completely halt progress in everything, which makes sense for the USA’s homelessness, healthcare and education systems.

      Tell me about it dude! I’m from goddamn California, the supposed “bastion” of liberal values and these fuckwits out here couldn’t even vote to abolish prison labor cus “might increase cost of (unspecified) some services”. Apparently they meant firefighting

      The trash around me can eat the shit off my nastiest goddamn hemorrhoid

      Because our constitution unfortunately EXPLICITLY allows it. The 13th amendment:

      Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

    Corruption in plain sight is the name for this era of US governance.

        She spent the last four years defending fascist Biden policies from progressives.
