_How Private Prisons Profit from Forced Labor_
https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/2020/10/how-private-prisons-profit-from-forced-laborDuring his incarceration, he worked in the facility’s kitchen, making between $1 and $4 per day as part of the ironically named “Voluntary Work Program.” Barrientos explained that in prison, he faced an “impossible choice”: he could either work for pennies, or attempt to live without necessities such as soap and toilet paper, which were not provided to detainees and had to be purchased.
... Barrientos is not alone. On any given day, there are about 50,000 immigrants being held in detention, most of them in private prisons. Just to be clear, these immigrants are not incarcerated as punishment for a crime; rather, they are being held in what’s called “civil” detention until their deportation cases can be heard by an immigration judge or an appeals court. Under the law, “civil” detention is supposedly non-punitive ...

"Technically, the Palantir stock is in a brokerage account for one of Miller’s young children, but that does not legally matter, according to the Office of Government Ethics, which says “an asset that is owned by a spouse or minor child is analyzed under 18 U.S.C.
208 [the criminal conflict of interest law] as if the employee owns it." "Trump's kids run his businesses to avoid *conflicts" but this obviously does nothing to alleviate the conflicts.

Trump said the drop in immigration across the border is because of the wall he built but he only built 52 miles of new wall (about 450 including replacement & secondary well)
More lies.
"The original plan was to erect a barrier stretching 1,000 miles along the nearly 2,000-mile southern border.
[When] Trump left office in Jan 2021, only about 450 miles of barrier had been built — much of which replaced or reinforced existing structures rather than creating new walls."

Swiss woman tried to visit New York but instead got thrown in jail then sent home.
She will no doubt now have fond memories of the U.S.A. which she will recount to anyone who will listen for the rest of her natural life. Wonderful goodwill that Trump is cultivating here.

"A New Zealand woman and her six-year-old son have been detained by US immigration officials after she tried to return to America from a trip to Canada.
Sarah Shaw had taken her two older children to Vancouver so they could catch a direct flight back to New Zealand on July 24 to visit family, and she then planned to travel back to her home in Washington state with her younger son."

"That ICE is an agency rife with allegations of sexual abuse against detainees is not surprising. “He grabbed my breasts,” a detainee named Maria told the New York Times in 2018, describing an assault by a male guard. “He put his hands in my pants and he touched my private parts. He touched me again inside the van, and my hands were tied. And he started masturbating.” "

200 billion is basically buying white supremacists into ICE.
ICE is currently running ads with white supremacist dog whistles and video of its trucks in Trump's plane's colour, because ICE are his goons.

"Critics argue that phrases like “America has been invaded by criminals and predators” and “Defend Your Culture” echo nationalist rhetoric historically tied to extremist movements. The meme-inspired van ad and the “absolute boys” tagline, they warn, risk attracting applicants drawn more to political ideology than to the professional responsibilities of federal law enforcement.

@valhalla @sabrinaweb71 @phabrizio chi lo sa?
Magari il mio è un rant di chi prima, non da ricco ma da privilegiato in un mondo di schiavi, si prendeva un lusso potendoselo permettere
Ma non sono d'accordo con quest'ottica: perché è come un dire facciamo la rivoluzione ora senza un vago programma (deresponsalizzante), altrimenti la rivoluzione non si farà, quindi rassegnamoci e andiamo avanti (resa totale)
Preferisco constatare che non è mai stato un lusso e le cose vanno peggio per tutti
-
@sabrinaweb71 @filobus @phabrizio (poi ci sarebbe da dire che in un paese civile tutti, anche quelli che lavorano facendo caffé in un bar, dovrebbero potersi permettere di spendere magari 5 euro (compresa la brioche) per un piccolo lusso con una frequenza magari non di tutti i giorni, ma neanche solo una volta all'anno o simili. ma quello è un discorso ben più ampio)

/me va a prendere una tazza da té del servizio bello e la tiene in mano in modo elegante
/me assume il suo atteggiamento più altezzoso
l'ufficio con il microonde e senza bollitore è un chiaro segno di mancanza di civiltà.
(sto bluffando. quelle tazze da té non le usiamo mai. alla mattina bevo il té da muratori irlandesi in una mug grande e non ci metto neanche né zucchero né latte :D )
