  1. There's about 220k There's about 130k in private prison total, which includes pre trial, jails, and all private facilities. The rest are all in state joints
  2. They're not actually doing shit. Until that reform lets ex cons compete for fucking jobs, nothing else matters. Recidivism is the bread and butter for these people. They never want to help fight that problem where it exists.
  3. Most people getting out of prison give less fucks about voting and more fucks about being able to survive on the streets without resorting back to crime. Basically, fuck your voting, let them just fucking live
  4. What about the right to be a bartender. Or the right to even grow weed. Or the right to own a firearm. Or the right to compete for a job. Voting is the last fucking thing that matters. The first thing that matters is to be able to find gainful employment and not be broke all the fuckin time. You want people to go straight? Don't strangle them economically.
  5. Probation and parole are pretty much the same thing at the federal level. There is no parole, only "supervised release" which is ran by probation officers. In most states, though, probation is pre prison and parole is post
  6. Except slavery is legal. And there's no minimum wage. And you never have the chance to become a citizen again, and your passport has an "f" number. You can't fully compete for jobs no matter what education and experience you have... But other than that
  7. Except you never have paid your debt. That's the only flaw
  8. That went exactly how i expected it to after seeing the 2 combatants and their fight style Yeah. Just look at the footwork, and the story tells itself
  9. Shouldn't this thread be called 'random thoughts that don't warrant a thread, thread?'
  10. I thought Colorado just passed a red flag law. Is that tied up in the courts?
  11. The fucking 3 major credit agencies, and every fucking bank in the world can't guard our information. And they want to force it on us? Fuck me.
  12. Yang has already been on Fox multiple times
  13. I've heard him talk. He says lots of neat nothing.
  14. Considering Trump vs Pete at this moment, we have the "he talks just like me do" candidate vs the "he talks sooooo dreaaaaamyyy" candidate.
  15. And that's why we're doomed
  16. And yet he's the only one talking about things that are literally at our doorstep, the actual causes of the Trump presidency, and solutions. Sure, seems like a healthy opinion
  17. He has none. He's got lots and lots of speeches, though
  18. Here's the whole thing . It's long, but he's so sharp, it doesn't seem like it. Amazing guy.

    Economy Thread

    Participation rates are, too.
  20. I think that the coming changes in capitalism will be good ones if the nation, and its corporations, will just accept the changes. Human-centered capitalism will hopefully bring about changes to the thought processes of everyone in this country. I think businesses should, at some point, start to understand that if everyone is broke, no one buys shit. Yang wants to change the focus of capitalism, which is something that needs to happen since there is an inherent cruelty in it that should be weeded out. Yes, businesses could start acting as if the dividend was a wage offset, and they'd probably try, seeing as how they are mostly morally bankrupt entities. If course, the government could also become more involved in pay structures if that's the case, since regulation is the only answer to corporate overreach. Corporations are going to then complain of regulation, even though they would have caused, yet again, the need for it. That's the pessimistic view. Of course, if corporations take the stakeholder view, and use metrics such as triple bottom line, and actually become good corporate citizens, things don't have to be that way. The people could always just revolt and kill their corporate masters. I'd be down for that.
  21. I just finished watching it. I'm not surprised that Shapiro was in agreement. It's hard to not be in agreement with actual common sense. He's still the only politician that checks all the boxes for me.
