re: #63 EPR-radar

I agree entirely. But wage slavery, awful as it is, does not seem sufficient to satisfy wingnut urges for degradation of others.

It is worth remembering that the 13th amendment reads as follows:

The prison-industrial complex, especially privatized prisons, will end up being slavery, if it is not there yet.

Since even prisoners have access to courts before and after sentencing, it will never be as bad as slavery. No one is born a prisoner.

Mind you, I think privatized prisons are unconscionable and should be illegal. And prison labor should be paid minimum wage. And minimum wage should be raised.
