    As the law requires US military gear to be made in the USA … guess who gets to make it as repetitive cheapest bidder ?

    Seems like the USA is really more like Sparta than maybe it wants to admit.

    Reminder that slavery is still legal in the US, if theworker is incarcerated.

      They are not called workers, then.

      They are called slaves, then.

      Workers are part of the proletariat.

      Slaves are part of the slave class which in the US is reflected in the carceral state as you have pointed out.

      But call them slaves as that is what they are. We have taken their identity. And we have taken their rights. And we sell them into work. We do no favors calling prisoners anything but slaves because they have been erased institutionally.

      Used to be that China was on par in that regard say… 10? 15 years ago? I remember seeing a comparison, it was more neck at neck, but I think they reduced it and the US massively increased it, so it’s high but not US high.

      Similarly something about military spending; same US ballooning in the past few decades.

      Neat to see where China sits in this list, despite not being in Nato.

      Kinda has an interesting perspective.

        Doesn’t stop them from incarcerating like one. Maybe they’ll earn an invite soon.
