The prisons oftentimes seem like a revolving door kind of system. People who go to prisons don't come out regretful of what they did, they come out of prisons hardened by the experience and made into sociopaths...if they weren't already. I mean, yeah, sure, you go to prison for being a murderer or rapist...let them rot. Honestly I think rape should be a capital offense anyway with a life sentence given the amount of damage done to the victim emotionally, psychologically, and physically. But people who steal or beat someone up in assault/battery or run drugs, all this other shit that does NOT warrant a life sentence? Why do they have to be subjected to a prison system where the guards are all but devoid of oversight and the prisoners themselves are crafted into an even more hardened mindset by the kill-or-be-killed, us-or-them, be-feared-or-be-raped bullshit that goes on in our prisons to such a huge extent that pretty much every single person knows it. We got people who steal millions in complicated embezzlement scheme who go to comfy resort prisons for six months IF THAT, and men who steal $300 from someone after smacking them over the head who go to prison for five years in high or maximum security with felony charges that ensure if they were stealing because they couldn't get a job, they now REALLY won't be able to get a job since now they have a felony record and oh look at this the job market is in the fucking toilet so instead of employers competing for employees, potential employees have to compete with each other for bottom of the barrel minimum wage jobs!
Our prison system, like our education and infrastructure systems, are fucking outdated and in desperate need of retooling. Meanwhile, the fucking Pentagon can afford to blow $50 billion dollars on a single model of aircraft program alone, and endless modernization and upgrade programs for every fucking vehicle, artillery system, jet, helicopter, and missile system without even breaking a fucking sweat! Never-mind that our soldiers are equipped with bottom-of-the-barrel lowest-bidder-produced garbage weaponry that still can't even hold up against shit the Russians made 60 years ago and sub-par body armor and their pay and benefits keep getting trimmed away.
NASA's entire space program costs $17.8 billion yearly. Need I remind that ONE SINGLE JET FIGHTER PROGRAM (a jet fighter program that is rife with security breach issues, performance that is increasingly becoming more obvious in how meager and laughable it is, and an ever-increasingly-mounting lifetime maintenance cost) has cost us $50 billion dollars?! The program launching the most high-tech devices and vehicles into orbit and sending other equipment across the reaches of the solar system and to other planets COSTS LESS OVERALL than ONE FUCKING FIGHTER PROGRAM that is clearly going to be a grim disappointment in the event of a war on the scale that it's meant to be used for.
And...again...infrastructure. Outdated. Education system. Woefully underfunded, outdated. Prison system. Outdated. Justice system. Rife with loopholes and overzealous prosecutors and with unbelievably, retardedly slanted laws.
America. Fuck no.
