Wow, I really hope help comes for those poor deportees
hope they die of it and the deportees are somehow unscathed
Inshallah
For a second I thought they actually tried to deport the immigrants via a shipping container and somehow were stupid enough to get in with them. But now that's what passes for temporary housing at the Djibouti base. It sounds like it sucks ass at that base in general.
It makes it seem like the empire has budget cuts to the outposts in Africa
Sorry but thats just copium. Shit like this has been perfectly normal in any remote US outpost since WWII.
Yeah you're right, but I did say "makes it seem like", but it's not surprising.
Nope, they’re relatively cheap so they can be placed down en masse. It’s not about quality but quantity
Shipping container barracks are pretty common. I used to be part of the process in their fabrication back when I was pursuing a career in fabrication. I wanted to learn the process because I had homesteading pursuits that I felt like could be reached through similar methods. Constructed the right way, they'd be pretty comfortable if they weren't packed in there like sardines.
Didn't we have a struggle session about repurposing used shipping containers as cheap housing?
Did we?
yeah maybe 10 years ago i could get a shipping container tiny home for ~30k and it seemed fine, slightly better than an apartment unit the same size
A part of me still has the desire to give it a shot, it’d be a lot more scaled up than a single unit though, I consider them to be building blocks. An idea I’ve wanted to do is have them in a hexagonal shape around the center with a inner garden sanctum
ooh yeah courtyards are fun
Would be better, or at least easier. to just do a big rectangle with them with a courtyard inside I'd guess.
Rectangles are boring
No they're not.
Posted on a rectangle. From a rectangle. Inside a rectangle. To a rectangle.
Get rect.
A better world is possible
You don't even need shipping containers to make this a reality.
True, but metal is the medium I know how to work with best and some sort of structure already there makes things easier, especially if you want to design it in a way that you can shift around as you see if and reconfigurate the layout as you expand
I've managed to avoid this situation my entire life, I'm just built different I guess
Yeah I would just not get stuck.
Fucking amateurs.
Skill issue
r/upliftingnews except for the fact that there are 8 deportees with them
The thirteen ICE officials meanwhile, fell ill immediately after landing and are currently suffering from respiratory infections, as well as extreme heat and cramped living conditions.
Critical support to comrade strep
Yep, that's me. You may be wondering how I got myself into this situation...
It all started with an executive order and my insatiable levels of bloodlust.
friends... they're legally stuck due to judge blocking the flight. not actually stuck
Maybe they shouldn't have been there in the first place?
Those 8 deportees tho 
Didn't see that 
I hope so much they (ICE) contract malaria or a heat stroke, whatever helps them enjoy their impromptu vacation. The language in that article is disgusting of course, hardly a word of concern for the “aliens” as they say.
Poor babies, are you suffering from the hell on earth you yourselves have created?
explaining crimes against humanity to an American: imagine a Nuremberger...
Fuck 'em, but also how do you even wind up in that situation???
I thought it was against the rules to share pornographic content
Sending thoughts and prayers. Like I think this is hilarious and pray y'all reap what you sewed.
Getting lung and throat cancer to own the libs. 
This is like that bit from Silicone Valley when Jared gets trapped in a self driving car inside a shipping container, but these absolute morons did it to themselves lmao
I do feel bad about the deportees being stuck in there with them though. Thats got to be rough. Do you think there's a chance they all become friends afterwords, as if they had a very bonding sleep over?

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
