More or less the same experience

Well, I’m not there and my information only comes from the media that surely don’t give me a realistic and impartial view of the reality of the country, but oh my goodness.

Again, I’m European so I can’t be sure about this, but I think some of those issues are worse because of the scale, not the thing itself. The entire healthcare system is private—if all prisons were too, I think that would be much worse than the healthcare situation.

As for politicians, up until this election cycle, they at least had the decency to pretend. From now on, we’ll see what happens.

In the Southeast of America a judge was fairly recently convicted of sending underage boys to a private prison in exchange for kickbacks from that prison. He had been doing it for over a decade. And that’s just one that made the news.

It is obvious that something like this would happen. You cannot create a system with perverse incentives and expect the good faith of those who participate to keep it clean. It is exactly the opposite of the spirit of the American revolution (and the rest of democratic revolutions)

As a European, I wonder what kind of dystopia the concept of a “private prison” fits into. I don’t understand how anyone could have imagined that this would end well.

I would like to leave this here as a warning, because it seems relevant to me.

The fascist is the one who contains people in arrest fields. The hyper capitalist who closes food programs for the poorest

From essentially always. The Eastern Indies Company may be the first clear example. Ultra capitalists squeeze the State whenever they can preach that others should prevent the smallest subsidy

This could lead us to a complex discussion about ideology but I believe that Musk is rather an ultra capitalist (what we call ultra liberal in Europe) the repression of the State cares for shit, it only wants tax reduction and disappearance of regulations to the maximum. Trump is a more classic fascist, he wants repression and total control by the State (as long as he is the one who controls the State, obviously). The clash was inevitable, as I said before, reviewing the story will give you the answer

A fascist betraying the hyper-capitalist who supported him to defeat the left. If Musk knew more about history, he could have seen it coming.
