I hope to see more things like this in this subreddit, as it was a very informative article, but it really makes your fucking blood boil. I believe the US imprisons a larger percentage of its population than any other country in the world, if I have heard correctly, and the prison-industrial complex is only going to get worse. No government should have the power to make deals like this. Our government is growing out of control, and we need to cut the shit. A weak government is a friendly government, but people want to rely on it for more and more things, and in doing so they give it more power which leads to shit like this. I'm not even really mad at the businesses. They represent their own interests and everyone knows that. The government on the other hand smiles and shakes your hand, then turns around and negotiates a deal to throw you in prison for missed child support or smoking a joint so they can sell years of your life for a kickback. This is what happens when the Constitution lives and breathes. It grows into a dildo and fucks you in the ass. The whole living breathing document bullshit is just an excuse to ignore the Constitution.. Sorry for the rant, but goddamn.

What the feminist counter-argument boils down to : "It's okay that most men are treated like slaves, because there are still a few %0.00000001 of the population that are billionaires. Until all women are billionaires we need to focus on women's issues first. After all women being treated better is just another example of how women are oppressed. Feminism is about equality. Go girl power!"

I like how in an article about prison labor there's like no mention of race at all, save for the lip service about Jim Crow laws and pre-Civil War slavery.

So, this exists. What are we going to do to raise awareness? I've been inspired to write a book. I wonder if it will be one of those 'controversial Oprah books', or if people don't want to hear it.
