News outlets should start using proper definitions, it's a concentration camp :
concentration camp
noun
1. a place in which large numbers of people, especially political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities, sometimes to provide forced labour or to await mass execution. The term is most strongly associated with the several hundred camps established by the Nazis in Germany and occupied Europe 1933–45, among the most infamous being Dachau, Belsen, and Auschwitz
Exactly!

Concentration camps...
you can just skim the money from the 800bn for defense and it would fund universal.
Also I don't see how the neoliberals can't see that within a few years of implementation, productivity would jump massively as more people would be able to participate in the economy and therefore generate so much more value.
I should stress, that shouldn't be the reason for implementation, you know the usual ones about why decent healthcare should be available for free/at subsidiesed cost (depending on which style of universal healthcare implemented): it's the morally right thing to do under the hypocratic oath, every other developed country does this, etc.
But it's a cold economic reason that makes sense.
They certainly can see it. But the corporations that hold their leashes don't want it, so it doesn't happen.
But… but… that would make it not evil. We can’t have that!
Short article but still hard to get through. The banal cruelty and pointlessness of all this…
It's roughly enough money to just build 100k homes. Why can't we just do that instead?
It’s 2 years of the entire USAID budget that kept 100,000s of people alive and healthy. It’s 4 times the amount of money the President want from the taxpayers so he can “give it to charity.”
average priced homes yes but things like small sized apartments could likely be built for like 100k each, so 400k homes, enough to house about half of the us homeless population
Sure, but then they don't get to torture minorities.
😔 Because cruelty is the point.
I think for some of the scumbags in control the cruelty has gone far beyond a side effect of their hatred, and into a focus of how they validate themselves and one-up their friends. They need so badly to feel superior that they will do horrible things just to show that they can. That would help explain how blatant and comical things have been.
They need to show that they are at the pinnacle of the group the law protects but does not bind.
Remember the "he’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting" quote? https://www.ms.now/rachel-maddow-show/trump-voter-hes-not-hurting-the-people-he-needs-be-hurting-msna1181316
This is almost double the funding of NASA (1 year)
wanna bet the money will be laundered to his contractors and some in his pockets, much like the ballroom and the alligator alacatraz.
Wouldn't it be ironic if all of the trump voters ended up being put into them?
Many of them will. All fascists think they're safe from their fellow fascists until the day they find they're not, and then it's too late. No one is safe under fascism.
How it started:
How it ended:
That would be great, they'd really get what they voted for!
Private contractors:
Are they going to be put to work in these camps?, If I concentrate I seem to remember that work will set them free.
*concentration camps
FTFY:
Immigration JailsConcentration Camps like in Nazi Germany during WWIIThe first step to genocide is usually forced displacement
Fixed it for them.
This is why people don't have healthcare‽
Where is that 40B from in the congressionally approved budget?
I think I remember this mission from Deus ex human revolution...
Hey tRump - you can redirect the heat from AI centers to the facility and use it for burning of bodies! You'll save on gas!
