Man, sometimes I remember — if the 20th of Maine hadn’t decided to fix bayonets and charge on Little Round Top, the U.S. might still have mass slavery instead of just* prison slavery.

Many people released from prisons and jails have a substantial amount of debt to repay
many people released from prison have a large amount of debt to repay, including court costs, supervision fees, victim restitution, and child support. The amount of debt depends on how long someone is incarcerated and what the debt is for. Some businesses, such as Comcast and Sprint, forgive debts for people who have recently been released. However, some things stay on a person's record forever, including student loans and IRS liens, and are subject to collection activities.
AND THE STATE PAYS THEM 8 CENTS AN HOUR INSTEAD OF A REAL EVEN MINIMUM WAGE?
California Prison Officials Aim to Raise Hourly Minimum Wage for Incarcerated Workers — to at Least 16 Cents
The plan calls for doubling the minimum wage — from its current rate of just 8 cents an hour to 16 cents. Incarcerated people with the highest skill levels or in lead positions would earn as much as 74 cents an hour, up from 37 cents.
F*****G MONSTERS! THEY WORK THEM AND KICK THEM OUT ON THE STREET LOADED WITH DEBT? THAT'S SLAVE WAGES!

MAGA my ass...
Name ONE SINGLE FUCKING THING (ONE) that he USA is doing correctly AND morally?
Cuz you could say war....but doing war right is never 'good.'
What a failed fucking nation full of losers. Why losers? Cuz winners don't give up, but most I meet have...
I mean, it's PROVEN with HARD DATA many other countries (mostly european) are happier, healthier, live longer, OWN their houses <WHOA!>, have more time off, have more savings, go on more luxurious vacations, AND have more FREEDOM (again, PROVEN) than USA citizens. So what are you paying taxes for? To have NOTHING? To own NOTHING? To be NOTHING?
But it's like USA peeps DENY that. Or ignore it.
If someone else is doing life better, and you're fucking miserable, you AT LEAST hear them out, you fucking morons. That's just LOGIC.
"Make America great again." IT WAS NEVER GREAT. FOUNDED ON: genocide and slavery. And....that's still where we are today! Largest prison population in WORLD history USED as slaves (more than during slavery) and a genocide in #Palestine. America has never been great and never will be. It's a failed fucking nation. Never ONCE has there been safe drinking water for every citizen, but you think it was once great? Then you're fucking stupid. Make people THINK again. Then maybe we can make permanent real world change....just maybe...

You know, I looked this up to make sure it was real. Because it sounds a lot like dude is saying, "hey we need to keep good workers under our control to benefit the establishment."
Which, I mean, maybe I'm reading too much into it but that sounds an awful lot like, I don't know, slavery?
I mean we already knew that de facto slavery happens in the prison system, but dude just came right out and said it.

Those sandbags are being filled, in many cases, by inmate slave labor. Inmates who will likely be left to suffer and possibly die in this hurricane. So that's happening. And it really is all this serious. I know evacuation is not logistically feasible for many due to capitalism, disability, etc, but please seek out resources to get out if you can. Storm surge may be as much as 15 feet which is beyond deadly. Also, DO NOT LEAVE YOUR PETS BEHIND!
feeling very frustrated about the ways people are talking about hurricane Milton. lots of needless, borderline fear mongering language with very little actual helpful information.
information about Milton that might ACTUALLY be helpful:
Hurricane Milton is shaping up to be the third strongest hurricane ever recorded.
Make sure you have an evacuation plan if the order is given or if you've already been told to leave.
there is also a code for free Ubers to evacuate effected counties, as well as shuttles from evacuating counties to nearby storm shelters
Prepare/secure your home
Find your nearest shelter and be prepared to leave
If you want to stay in the loop about the hurricane, WESH 2 News has ongoing coverage ad-free on YouTube.
General resources/information:
Please for the love of God stop preying on people's fears and causing panic. Know what resources are available to you and how to access them. If you approach this hurricane carefully YOU WILL BE OKAY!!!!! YOUR LIFE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE RUINED!!!
Please link other resources you find or think other people might find useful!

In America slavery is still legal in most states as punishment for a crime. How fucking disgusting
"Penal labor is permitted under the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits slavery except as a punishment for a crime where the individual has been convicted."
Article above is from November 13th 2023

And who enforces this? Is it just a few bad apples, or is it all cops?
How hard is it for them to find cops willing to enforce this? Do they have to sift through hundreds of heroic cops who refuse until they find the one cop who's monstrous enough to enforce this, or do they easily find cops willing to enforce this because monstrous cops are everywhere and being a monster is part of the job?
"All cops are bad" is not a stereotype. It's literally a requirement for the job that every single one knew about.

[ID: a tweet by Justus (@ThisIsJus) dated November 6, 2024 that says, “Kamala may have lost, but at least we get to honor her legacy by continuing prison slavery in California.” End ID.]
