Back in my day when we went out to protest and disrupt, we knew we was getting cuffed. We knew we were going to be slandered! Wasn't nobody expecting the fucking governor to give us some empathy, and if they did we wouldn't have cared!

The policy changes seem weird but then again prisons are not for fun and games and loopholes are often exploited.

Where do you deport legal American's to?

Sometimes you just leave them locked up in Alabama for 3 years. They can be a great source of free labor, plus a wonderful asset for the mandatory fill rates of private detention facilities.

Except they can't.

Don't get me wrong, prisoners can be labor, but they aren't going to be a good source of labor, and it isn't going to be free.

Trump et al may think they can solve the labor shortage they're about to cause with prisoners, but you're going to end up spending a *lot* more money for the same amount of labor that way. And when I say 'same amount' I'm talking in terms of the work being done, not the hours. If I own a farm and pay illegal workers cash, I have to pay them, even if it doesn't cost much.

But the Federal government aren't on the hook for feeding and housing those laborers, plus they *want* to do the work so their productivity will be high.

Federal prisoners? Well I'm not going to be able to get them to come work on my farm for free, because the federal government *is* paying to house and feed those people so they're sure as shit going to charge me for those workers. Plus the work output of the prisoners is going to be shit in comparison, because they get nothing for it.

Per field of fruit picked, prison labor is going to cost a lot more than paying cash in a 'no questions asked' arrangement with workers here illegally. And that's before you even factor in the cost of rounding up and deporting (or imprisoning) the people that don't have legal immigration status.

They can't? They do.

Even patriot missiles defense systems are made by prisoners.

You're right, though, it's usually not free. Sometimes you've got to shell out a few nickels. The folks building patriot missiles top out at like $1.15 and hour. But, that money is recouped by charging uniform, transportation, and guard fees.


Edit: Oh the story about the American that locked up in Alabama for 3 years because of cruel stupidity was Davino Watson

Only allowing other bluesky members to see your content is even worse. Not everyone is privileged enough to have social media.

[benji]

Shouldn't ResetERA.com be applauding this since those workers are no longer being exploited by capitalism?

[benji]

I think prison labor probably would not be considered alienated labor under Marx's system, they're working in line with society's rationally planned goals rather than being exploited by market forces. Though I admit this would fit better if they weren't paid any wages at all.

About what I expect from the creators of Love Death & Robots

Huh?? L,D,R is awesome.

I did not expect you to like LDR. Especially given the poor handling of queer women.

The handling of women in general sucks.

Hmmm...tbh I wasn't exactly sober watching a decent amount of it and been a minute. I think the animations themselves were just impressive go me.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

I want to live in a world where any man arrested can claim to be MtF trans. They should be allowed to transfer into a woman's prison for a gf and wlw romance.

[benji]

I'm actually curious now if prison/criminal justice reform groups have ever proposed that prison wages should be put in mutual funds for the prisoners. It sounds like something they'd despise and fight with all their passion.

"Wait, you're telling me I should actually hate this show? Quick, let me make an excuse."

[benji]

You can be falsely accused and convicted and sit on death row for decades and only get like a year or two worth of median salary as compensation.

[benji]

Much more sensible to demand prison/police abolition and call for random chaos until the entire system collapses under the strain than start holding the state accountable for anything, wouldn't want to challenge the systemic issues related to a monopoly. The real problem is that some things are still outside its grasp. I'm so tired.

I wonder what's so awful about their lives that they want to no longer exist?

As I sit here typing this I have a device on my chest hooked up to wires implanted in my back with leads fished into my neck sending shocks to nerves trying to get my nervous system back under control so I'm not in 24/7 nerve pain. 

Fuck these people seriously

[HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth]

I am a trans disabled person with a spouse and child. I currently suffer from severe depression, severe anxiety, paranoia, ADHD, PTSD (from childhood abuse), and psoriasis so bad that I cannot stand on my feet for longer than an hour without them bleeding. I also suffer from seizures to the point I was fired from my job for it, I worked there only for about 3 months but developed the seizures while working there; this caused me to miss too much time, and they fired me, stating that I was lowering company morale

What an incredibly believable tale.

and they fired me, stating that I was lowering company morale

Okay, I can definitely believe this part.

[Potato]

I just love the fact that a privileged rich boy shot a self-made son of a farm worker and Resetera is cheering for the rich kid.

[benji]

But since you asked my hypothesis is this...

Like most of us they they were swamped in a childhood culture of self-esteem and "you can be anything you want" but as they show constantly in their interpretations of media they took this literally not figuratively. The comparative life of ease we've basically all had compared to previous generations has, as they also show constantly, created a sense of narcissistic entitlement where one should have to do literally nothing and in return receive literally everything.

At some point, as all of us experience, reality came to exist. Rather than the typical growth into adulthood they've almost universally chosen to opt out and lash out at everything else for not rising them to where they feel they deserve. Nepenthe and art, Nothing Loud and PhD, PlanetSmasher and any video game, so on and so on. The lack of actual struggle in their lives, outside of self-imposed problems like debts, only emphasizes the distance between their actual irrelevant state and what they imagined would be their conquering status.

The answer can't be them, that's verboten. We're all perfect as we are after all. That's why the problem must be capitalism. Or racism. Or sexism. Or maybe I'm the wrong sex and everyone else just needs to be forced to treat me like a different one because that will realign people's expectations of me with the reality that disappoints them. And not just that, you can see how many of them take on new personas and identities and then cast them off. PlanetSmasher's endless claims to fame are just the most obvious. How many of them are trying to be streamers even though SeafoamGaming is the only who has anything of value to say? Their personalities and interests are almost all interchangeable. They scrape out any sense of actual individuality to constantly fit into an ever shrinking clique, which then demands they differentiate themselves by exaggerating the irrelevant differences that remain. The victimization excuses are part of this by shifting from themselves to the group level. Nobody can object that racism is a thing, so obviously racism is at fault, nay, society itself at every level is just deliberately constructed to thwart Nepenthe living the life she deserves. Really, there's nothing she or any of them can do to be happy, if they try to change, if they try being good people, everything else will just stand in their way and deny them.

As I like to point out they really are "exhausted" and "so tired" because they have habituated themselves into needing the offense cycles, needing to be "activated" by the latest outrage to perform for, etc. It's deliberately and constantly necessary because they've stripped everything else of having value on purpose, they've relegated everything else but these displays of morality to being meaningless through a compete totalization of everything but their favorite media being compared to a fantasy derived from that media. The completely totalized expectations are constantly crashing up against reality.

Like their ignorance they don't grasp the disordered thinking because their framework is one that prioritizes the superiority of the self uber alles. Errors aren't something you do, staff especially, errors are things that everyone else forces onto you because the world is cruel and hateful towards you out of jealously. If only people just, sigh, shut up, sat down and listened to you, they'd know what they should be doing.

You can see it in their ideology how actually different people don't matter. They either are assumed to not exist or assumed to be bad faith and so can be ignored/dismissed at best or literally eliminated at worst. So all the hard political or ethical or moral choices of life just fade away because everyone who matters is in total agreement at all times. Win victory over yourself: She-Hulk and Concord was excellent.

Not just cheering for, but sexually objectifying him. It’s just pure
