This didn't work out for Colorado when it won on election day. Some judge just said that's not what the ballot measure really meant.

Hopefully this does better, but I'm not optimistic.

During our recent bird flu outbreak, those prisoners were shipped to poultry farms to remove the corpses of the completely annihilated flocks. The first case of human transmission in the US was one of those workers who then returned to their overcrowded prison where everyone is immunocompromised.

Bird flu has a fatality rate of 50% and is one lucky mutation away from spreading human-human. And we risk that for cheap slave labour to get our fucking mcnuggets.

It's fucking insane. The multigenerational propaganda at work to make this palatable is wild. We could've done so much with that kind of organization but here we are
