2 mln people is in prison because prison system is a private company who is on stack market and they bully the senators to make more silly laws to put even more people in prison where people work with no pay just for food and shelter They want everyone in prison in USA so we will be easy to control and they could vaccinate us with whatever poison they invent

About East Germany...this is what you get for trying to invade Russia, and killing over 23.000.000 Russians as a result, so fuck you, riding your bicycle on dirt does not compare to being dead!

Good post - starts to awaken people as to the broad business and profits of the US privately owned prison system

In 1980, the US had 500,000 prisoners. Not even 30 years later, the prison population has quintupled to over 2,500,000.

1% of the total population, but that's 3.2% of Adults. 1 in 31 adult Americans are in prison. Free the non-violent drug offenders, and treat drug abuse as a public health issue. Shut down the prison industry; lets run our own prisons again. And send all the corrupt judges to prison equal to the excessive prison time they prescribed.

Plus, some of those farmers can easily be replaced by crop imports from other nations.

And why does rural France need "saving" anyway? If a few rural farmers here and there can't compete, so be it! That's the beauty of the market- creative destruction. It allows people who are using resources less efficiently to better use their knowledge, money and skills elsewhere. It frees up that market for more efficient users. Farming should be treated the same as the regular market unless there's some major food/crop emergency or shortage.
China is questioning the US's human rights because of how many people they lock up. The US incarcerates more people then Russia AND China!
