    Crime goes down, means 📉

    Less prisoners, means 🕊

    Less prison profits, means 💸😱

    New crimes are invented 👮‍♂️

    And ain’t it great how prisons are paid per prisoner by the state and also get to do some slave labor, as a treat. But when the profits are low, just complain to the state that you need to be paid more and have more prisoners, it’s free money from your good friends on the senate.

    No, that’s not how it works. The homeless are being converted into prison slaves.

      That or they just die.

      Ever walk to your corporate job downtown in the morning, and notice a blanketed lump in the alley outside your building?

      Then when you’re out for lunch, you walk by the same alleyway…

      … and the lump is gone, replaced by two municipal workers with flamethrowers, sanitizing the liquid decay of the dead body?

      Yeah, that caused me to have an existential crisis and radicalize, long ago when I was a bushy young corpo with a ‘promising future.’
