Of course we know why. So that evolution could result in the universe’s most perfect being.

I’m starting to get the impression these private prisons were a bad idea, guys.

My child, you dare question the will of the profits?

The line goes up. The demarcation must ascend. It is the will of god the market, in which all things are made possible profitable. youtu.be/ao-Sahfy7Hg

After the '94 Crime Bill, you can’t blame Biden. He’s done everything he possibly could to fill those prisons.

I mean, we’ve seen who this country elected over the course of the last 30 years. We know this kind of history just puts people to sleep.

murmelade , in TIL humans are the only animal with a chin. We aren't sure why.

I was gonna say elephants have chins too, as I’m re-watching old QI seasons and they brought up this fact, but upon further research their chins aren’t true chins with a bony protrusion.

I’ll always upvote a Qi reference

They should mandate a "made with prison slave labor " label…

pivot_root ,

But then we wouldn’t have enough budget to allocate to our campaign donations.

—lobbyists

NotMyOldRedditName ,

Lol, that just made me think though.

Instead if made with slave labor labels

This PAC and or politician received donations from slave labor using companies and a list.

TheDoozer ,

And the US military. I was studying the supply manual (not for fun, a large portion of our promotions are based on a test we take once a year), and saw there was a hierarchy for ordering. Most of our stuff is from Skilcraft (“Made with pride by people who are blind”) and thought that was our preferred source. Nope! Our first source we have to try to order from is Unicor. So I looked up Unicor, and it’s prison labor.

So our first focus is buying cheap products from slave labor lining the pockets of truly awful business people. The secondary choice is one that helps blind people. Way to show priorities, right?

NaibofTabr ,

I’m sure that you’re right, but I would love to have a list of references for this. Where do you find credible information on the labor sources of these companies?

blindbunny , in TIL humans are the only animal with a chin. We aren't sure why.

Have you seen humans without chins? That’s why

Useful in fighting as it helps protect the lower jaw and teeth?

But then again, it could simply be a trait we have developed over the millennia, and there is no deeper meaning to it.

olafurp ,

I think this is plausible, also the fact that when you lean your head a little bit forward you expose the front of the skull which is the thickest part while the chin prevents people from punching your neck.

AncientFutureNow , in TIL humans are the only animal with a chin. We aren't sure why.

It’s for punching. 🤣

Delusional , in TIL: How Private Prisons Sued The State of Arizona for Not Having Enough Prisoners

Prison reform would be great. Not even changing anything bout how they’re run, just make them government run with oversight. Private prisons are obviously clearly immoral and they’re only getting worse for the sake of profit. Making money in nefarious ways using incarcerated people is so fucking clearly wrong it’s amazing that it even got to this point. They broke the laws of the state/country, they should be imprisoned by the state/country. Not some evil prick that will do anything to have more prisoners and keep current prisoners. That’s so fucking bat shit insane.

Imagine a contract negotiated with the state with SLA KPI "new monthly prisoner"

That's the society we got.

Hackworth ,

If our present reality was described accurately in a novel written in 1985, it would be firmly cyberpunk.

benignintervention ,

I waited for a train for the first in years the other day and every third connex was a dark gray Amazon box with the blue smile. It felt surreal and utterly dystopian cyberpunk

“You promised us a complete breakdown of society and a decent into criminal anarchy that would drive our profits to never before seen levels.

Stability and a well provided for populace was NOT part of our deal!”

haui_lemmy , in TIL: How Private Prisons Sued The State of Arizona for Not Having Enough Prisoners

Imagine living in a country where prisons are for profit.

TxzK ,

but slavery prison labour is really profitable
