I thought the reason we have
police departments is to *reduce* crime.

Normal for America.
I read a horrifying story about “prison quotas” for juvenile detention facilities in some states.

We hire thugs to protect us from thugs then are surprised when our hired thugs act thuggish 🤷‍♂️

I've heard of ticket quotas, but never an arrest quota. I suppose that may be a thing from the Jim Crow era, but I've never heard of this in my lifetime.

Out of a population of around 50,000!

AI scares the shit out of me. I’m convinced nothing good will come out of AI, eventually.

LOL

You gotta wonder if Epstein was orchestrated years ago, for this exact reason.

Question is whether the “Supreme” Court will succumb to political and “popular” pressure—as they almost always seem to do—knowing that many Americans were promised a $2k check, dependent on whether they agree with T.

Also, no one is talking about how all the tariff money will need to be returned to the countries that paid them, but not Americans that paid the tariffs in practice—so it would be a lose-lose for Americans.

The laws and the constitution have failed to keep up—and much of our “government” is simply too corrupt to give a shit.

AI and the powerful that control it will speed-run humanity to a technocratic dystopian à la “I, Robot,” “The Minority Report,” “1984,” and maybe even worse. Unfortunately, this is just the beginning.

The conversation void to what’s underlying the quickly rising homeless population, rising cost of housing, and America’s already large jail and prison population. A microcosm of what’s to come for many in a 26-second clip?

Seeing how tariffs were unequivocally debunked as junk economic theory, post-Smoot–Hawley, I’m starting to believe the Trump Tariffs were imposed as part of a sort of… economic eugenics?
