My friend, they’re joking.

It’s just for-profit prisons but now in El Salvador:

Bukele later confirmed the agreement with Rubio on X, saying in a post, “We are willing to take in only convicted criminals (including convicted US citizens) into our mega-prison (CECOT) in exchange for a fee.”

El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center, commonly referred to as CECOT, is the country’s largest and newest prison, with a maximum capacity of 40,000 inmates.

“The fee would be relatively low for the US but significant for us, making our entire prison system sustainable,” he added.

Primary goal is stated as holding deportees, but the option of holding US citizens was floated by El Salvador as well. Deporting US citizens in this matter should currently be illegal.

I’m with you, they seem to really like being the underdogs and it seems to work out well for them from a fundraising perspective. It definitely feels like they’re angling to just barely lose.

I hope they eventually prove me wrong too, but it does feel like when they do well enough to win it’s mostly an unfortunate accident in their eyes.

It’s somewhat tricky, it refers to ‘the people’ or ‘persons’, but some things don’t make sense if you apply it to non-citizens. There’s been cases to establish how it applies in regards to specific amendments, but I haven’t heard of something coming up that definitively established whether that applies for the right to assemble.

If you’re thinking about asking the AI whether it’s a good time to hydrate, the answer is yes.

If we had near 100% voter turnout, there’d be a hell of a lot more battleground states.

Winning is detrimental to the party.

At a certain point, they realized that they make more money when they lose. The end goal of both parties isn’t to win, it’s to make the most money for their members. The democrats just happen to have stumbled into a situation where they have a perverse incentive to fuck things up just enough to barely lose so that they can keep their funding up.

It’s google, the product was complete when it was launched and any further development is an accident or from engineers that weren’t valuable enough to be placed on new projects. Backend was whatever could get it done quickest. The only way to get ahead at google is launching new projects. They’re banking on the fact that every once in awhile they get lucky and someone else build out the use case for them, but not sure how well that will go with Gemini.

They’ve probably already got a new product in development to replace it.

no,So many goods cannot be produced by children, it is inefficient

Lol, love the focus on productivity, knows how to read the room.

Did anyone else read this too fast and think that Trump had nominated Led Zeppelin to lead the EPA while we weren’t looking and then maybe feel slightly relieved?

I think that brings up the question of how do we go about establishing an absolute position? If everything is moving, what isn’t?

Everything being relative is a hell of a thing.

The theory is that you could stretch it to fall under incitement, not sure if something quite like it has ever been prosecuted, but near everyone includes similar disclaimers if they want to do something like this.

I would watch the shit out of that, I desperately need you to remember the name.

On the other hand, every person who has killed a United Healthcare CEO has played Among US, checkmate.
