~Just a guess but is it because America's prison system is privately run for profit and does that explain why the US has the highest incarceration rates globally? Maybe there is something wrong with your society considering all the mass shootings? just maybe because your country has been a corporation since 1913 when the FED was created is the starting point of the calamity... Like I said, just guessing...

@b.41879 You don't seem to understand words or their implications, you clearly said "you really might want to educate yourself about it rather than assuming or guessing" Implying that I'm ignorant... And yes, conversing with someone with a higher IQ than a dead possum may be pointless for you. Hope your day is as nice as you are ;)

@theme6590 I try to keep up with news on former colonies ;) ~Yes I'm a Brit and no I don't support colonial attitudes, just joking as I've nothing better to do in feudal Britain as our new King is the only thing on the news...

@b.41879 8.5% are privatised, the rest are state and federal and are also run for profit using inmates as a workforce. While technically they may not be privatised, they are contracted as slave Labour. Incarcerated workers in the US produce at least $11bn in goods and services. If you want helpful and respectful, maybe admit the flaws in your society and stop assuming I'm ignorant of the facts...

@b.41879 PS Feel free to search this and educate yourself! Captive Labor: Exploitation of Incarcerated Workers ACLU and the University of Chicago Law School Global Human Rights Clinic, June, 2022 “Our research found that the average minimum hourly wage paid to workers for non-industry jobs is 13 cents, and the average maximum hourly wage is 52 cents.” "Incarcerated workers in the US produce at least $11bn in goods and services."

@b.41879 My tone in the original comment is sarcastic and I'm fully aware of the flaws in your prison system. The fact you seem to think I'm guessing shows your lack of ability, despite me explaining my reasoning in further replies... Bullying? Childish? Seriously? A witty quip about your lack of intellect has you crying foul...

@b.41879 I haven't called you any names, simply pointed out the lack of understanding which is present in your comments in a humorous way. Anyway, I've had a wonderful, enlightening debate... but this wasn't it!
