Very weird that I am so old and have literally never heard this mentioned in a TV show or book or movie or anything.

In four out of five states, if you go to prison, you are literally paying for the time you spend there.

As you can guess, this results in crippling debt as soon as you’re released.

The county gets back a fraction of what they hold over your head the rest of your life until you commit suicide(or die naturally and peacefully with the sword of damocles hanging over your head).

$20-$80 a day according to Rutgers.

Counties apparently sue people and employ wage garnishment to get back the money that majority of people obviously cannot pay back.

    Because it took them time to rig the SCOTUS.

    Exactly what law do you expect them to pass? This is all Dems fault for being so garbage that Republicans even have a chance.

    Yeah, a party that has won exactly zero presidential elections what a party you’ve built. How proud you must be.

    You have to vote for them to win dumbass.

    A man abducts you and gives you to choices: Have sex with him “willingly” He kills you, and has sex with your corpse Choosing the first option in no way is consensual.

    You are truly deranged. In this comparison you could choose neither and vote green party.

    Factually incorrect.

    Biden supports RCV? Which Dem?

      They are openly debating if the president can have political opponents killed. Quit living under a rock.

      No shit.

      But I am not an imbecile who thinks they can magic away the spoiler effect. That’s you.

      Voting third party is equal to choosing the second option.

      Biden supports RCV? Which Dem?

      Get a grip. You’ve done no better to get RCV implemented. Your votes get you nothing, because you vote for candidates that mathematically cannot win thanks to the inherent biases of FPTP voting.

      And RCV isn’t even that good of an option. STAR and approval are superior.

        Hilarious. The rich have you figured out and are playing you like a fiddle.

        No shit.

        The literal only way is voting, it’s so simple it’s hilarious.

        Nope.

        LOL so people who had power and proved to you they will do nothing to get RCV passed. Greens can mathematically win, you just vote for them.

        And RCV isn’t even that good of an option. STAR and approval are superior.

        Yes the Dems will surely do this for you LOL

        ty to make a sensible sentence.

          Hilarious. The rich how you figured out and are playing you like a fiddle.

          Have you passed the fifth grade? I honestly can’t tell given your inability to make a sensible sentence.

          The literal only way is voting, it’s so simple it’s hilarious.

          Voting isn’t magic, stop treating it like so.

          Nope.

          It objectively is:

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoiler_effect

          Greens can mathematically win, you just vote for them.

          No they cannot. The spoiler effect is an inherent problem to our electoral system. You cannot just magic away systemic problems.

            What do you not understand here?

            Voting isn’t magic, stop treating it like so.

            It’s incredibly simple. You do not understand even the basic definition of democracy.

            It objectively is:

            Not if you vote for them and gather support instead of whining like a baby.

            No they cannot. The spoiler effect is an inherent problem to our electoral system. You cannot just magic away systemic problems.

            Then change it, get over yourself. I am helping fix this problem by voting against it, you are not, very simple.
