Then they deserve to collapse, simple as that. And we need a new system to be built that doesn’t thrive off such toil and misery
And it’s driving down wages. Kind of like regressives worry about immigrants doing.
If a system can’t exist without exploitation then it doesn’t deserve to exist in the first place
The United States today has announced it no longer exists.
…no one noticed.
Republicans: Buh Buh Buh illegal immigrants! Stealin all our jobs! Also: if we don’t sell our prisoners for cheap labor we won’t survive!
Quite frankly, maybe they should.
I seem to remember that same excuse being used in the 1800s in other states. We faught a war over this.
I mean…I don’t PERSONALLY remember it…I wasn’t born for a few more years…but I did read books about it.
Every generation hears these lines.
“Unions will cause economic calamity that none shall survive.”
“Overtime pay laws will cause economic calamity that none shall survive.”
“Anti child-labor laws will cause economic calamity that none shall survive.”
“Banning asbestos will cause economic calamity that none shall survive.”
The people saying this stuff have no floor.
I think the guy is lying, personally; he’s obviously attacking an idea he sees as a threat to his livelihood and power structure. There’s no way prison labor is literally holding communities together in Arizona (someone from there help me out if I’m wrong).
This dude is employed by capital and capital will rotate this dude’s position ad infinitum if he stops attacking anything less than chattel slavery, until some future iterant of this bootlicker builds the Matrix and inmates are harvested for their bioenergy and any choice halves of our symmetric organs; instead of prison tattoos, you leave with only one lung, and only once you’ve produced at least 75% of your sentenced wattage, you know, truth-in-sentencing reforms, gotta keep the lights on. Thanks to anyone who stuck that out to the end.

Meh, it was worth it.
You forget that slavery is constitutional as a form of punishment. Until we change that, it’s slave labor the whole way down.
Probably no one should live in Arizona anyway, given the course we are on climate wise.
Wasn’t there just another article here about the police putting some dude on the pavement in Arizona and he got third degree burns on like half of his body?
People trip and fall and hit their head on things and get knocked out for a minute all the time. If that happens to you on a parking lot in Arizona, you are likely to be burned to death before you wake up.
The invisible free hand of the market has spoken then.
This dude is lying, right?
Is this where Arizona is at politically and socially?
He just wants to keep his labor costs at null, right?
