Yet they supply their troops with next to nothing. WTF?!?

I was watching the news earlier and they had a story about a military mom collecting donations to send care packages to our troops fighting in the middle east. Her son is deployed in Pakistan or some place the news informs me.

She’s looking for things like, towels, shampoo, tooth paste and TOILET PAPER.. She says they have a real hard time getting toilet paper. So wait… we spend all this money, and we can’t even give these poor guys something to wipe their ass with? Are you kidding me?

Now don’t get the wrong idea here. I think what this woman is doing is AWESOME!! Obviously there is a real need to get these items to our fighting men and women. She was saying that the women over there have NO access to feminine products. Uhm.. what? Are you kidding me? Shouldn’t that be something mandatory for them to supply to our female troops? It’s not like you can subsitute an oak leaf for that like you can for toilet paper.

My daughter was talking to a friends brother who is in the service. He said they supply them with socks that are so thin, if they aren’t careful putting them on, they put their foot right through them. But the best part, they can’t supply their own because they have to be a certain color green.

Dry socks are one of the most important things a soldier can have. They get a condition called trench foot from having their feet stuffed in those military issue boots for days on end and once your feet sweat in those paper thin socks, they are basically screwed. Their feet start to rot basically.

How in the hell do we spend billions of dollars for our military, but then supply them with equipment that doesn’t give them one of the most basic needs? Dry feet!

Maybe I’m confused as to how our military get around, but I’m pretty sure they aren’t all given Jazzy electric chairs to buzz around on and shoot people from. Wouldn’t protecting the feet of your army be a pretty high priority? Guess they are to busy spending $50 billion on the bradley fighting vehicle which is basically a monstrous piece of crap.

I’m just astounded at how inefficiently we run things in the US. So much money is wasted on nonsense, while our troops can’t even wipe their own asses because we don’t give them any paper to do it with.

Someone needs to get all the generals together and tell them they have to sit in the 120 degree heat with one pair of paper thin socks and no toilet paper for 6 months and see if anything changes.

The military supply company who makes these awful socks, needs to take a long hard look in the mirror and ask themselves why they are so fucking greedy that they can’t make a pair of socks that will actually keep feet dry for more than 5 minutes.

It’s funny, Bush jr was quoted as saying that America would be much easier to run if it were a dictatorship and he was the dictator. I’m almost inclined to believe that, except he shouldn’t be the dictator because he’s a buffoon. But someone who actually gives a shit about our country needs to step up and fix this shit. Today! They can start with the military and move on to the rest of the millions of problems we have. Provide real solutions and do something that makes sense.

In closing, I’d like to thank every single mother, father, grandmother, sister, etc who take time out of their own lives and money out of their own pockets to help supply our troops with the basic necessities they need to survive in the field. Our government should be ashamed of itself for there even being a need for them to do these things, but thank god they do.

Can we all hold hands now and sing hallelujah?

I’m astounded at the amount of media coverage this wack job is receiving. So he sang a couple good songs 30 years ago, he also was a complete mental case.

It amazes me how because someone is put on a stage and handed millions of dollars, they are worshipped by millions of people. If a politician fucks around on his wife with another woman, we run them out of town on a rail. No matter how much good they could do.  But an entertainer dyes his skin white, has his nose shaved down to the point where he had to tape it together and my favorite… surrounded himself with little boys. Hey, it’s all good. he’s just a little eccentric. Are you fucking kidding me?

When I heard Michael had died, ya know what the first thought was that entered my mind? Good riddence. I was actually happy. He was a piece of shit plain and simple. Singing a few songs and grabbing his crotch on stage didn’t make him someone to be idolized. Especially when you consider his personal life.

Funny how now they are saying the Doctor that lived with him, is wanted because he injected something into Michael before he died. Imagine that. This freak of nature was also a drug addict. When will we start construction on his statue? How long before we have michael jackson day off from work?

Seriously people. It’s no wonder the people at the top of the humanity piramid look at common folk as a huge bunch of expendable morons. All you need is something shiny waved in front of your face and you’ll do whatever you’re told.

Michael jackson was a mental case. He’s not someone you should idolize. He’s the lowest of the low on the humanity totem pole. He got lucky because he could belt out a few pop tunes and you gaggle of dufus’s paid money to go watch it.

Why is it that losers like Michael jackson get almost complete control of the media for days, but shit that actually matters to how you live your life.. like oh say, President Obama giving the Federal reserve even more power over our financial system, or the climate control bill that’s going to cost every one of you even more money get next to no play? Oh Yeah! There’s nothing shiny on tv when they talk about that. Your tiny brain can’t stay focused because while the politician is telling you how you’re going to get fucked up the ass once the bill they are proposing passes, he’s not doing the moon walk.

It saddens me that people are so upset over this degenerate dying when they should all be dancing in the streets because another useless waste won’t be using up mother earths precious resources.

So to all you Michael Jackson fans. Why don’t you go read a book and learn something. You’re not going to survive long knowing the words to every song Micheal Jackson ever sang. Look in the mirror and be embarrassed by what you see.

All I keep hearing about on the news is how things are getting better with our economy. They site some manipulated figures to support their claims like, Oh… only 350,000 people filed for unemployment last month. Or housing sales are up 1000 over the past month, but only after they downgraded last months numbers by 5000. Or my absolute favorite is that the dow is up over 2000 points since it’s low a few months back.

But what I’m really seeing is a lot of market manipulation while they tell all the sheep everything is going to be ok. Time to head to the mall and spend whatever money you have left because the economy is on the rebound!

Let me let you in on a little secret. It’s complete bullshit. The people on the news channels you all love to watch, and this includes Fox news, are PAID to tell you want to think.  The ex beauty queens and make up covered dumb bells they put next to them are about as in tune with the economy as a blade of grass. They read words off a teleprompter with a smile on their faces and the average american eats it up and accepts it as fact.

The housing crisis is just the beginning of the real estate collapse. There’s a lot of empty retail space right now, and it’s only going to get worse. Let’s look at the chrysler fiasco as an example. You’re a car dealer. You have an expensive building with an expensive mortgage. Suddenly the company you get your product from, cuts you off. Leaves you stuck with whatever inventory you have and says don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Don’t forget, these dealers not only had millions of dollars in car inventory, but also millions in parts so they could service those cars. Something they are now forbidden to do.

So where does that leave them? Laying off all their employees, selling cars at discount prices and praying someone else will be willing to buy their parts inventory off them, most likely at a huge discount. Now suddenly there’s this huge empty building. Who’s going to move in there? No one.

Where I live, we had a Kmart, and and Ames and tons of grocery stores. Then walmart moved in. Now the Kmart is a decaying, empty building. After that, Ames went out of business and that building is a decaying, empty building. Not bad enough, copper theives broke into both buildings and ripped out all the plumbing. Nice. If you drive down the main roads in most towns around here, you will see building after building… empty. There’s nothing that can survive in there. Rent is so high and profits are so low, it doesn’t even pay to try to open a new business.

So when you are watching cnbc and they are telling you that walmart stock is up… just remember that there are now empty buildings everywhere that once held businesses that failed due to their competition.

Now don’t misunderstand me, I’m not bashing walmart in any way… I’m pointing out that there’s a ton of fallow retail space and someone is left holding the empty mortgage bag there. Bet you don’t see stories about that on Fox. All they are talking about is how things are getting better.

Now if you look at the dow, and commodities you would certainly think that things are improving. Stocks are up, precious metals are up, soybeans are up.. and especially oil is up. That’s double what it was a few months ago. The funniest thing is that when I talk to my fox watching father, he tells me oil is up because of “supply and demand”. You know. The same line of horse shit they fed us when it was $4 a gallon. Except there’s one major difference now, there’s over 100 million barrels of oil stored in tankers floating around in the ocean waiting for somewhere to go, because no one is buying it. So why is the price going sky high? Market manipulation.

See, they get the people on tv to tell you that better times are ahead. Get your money in now so you don’t miss the boat, but it seems like it’s the average guy who always left holding the empty bag when the stocks tank and oil goes back down to $35 a barrel. How many people do you think bought into oil at $140 when all the talking heads on tv were saying it was going to go all the way to $200? I’m sure it wasn’t a wall street fat cat who cried in his cornflakes when it dumped all $105 off it’s value. It was the guy foolish enough to listen to the “experts” telling them to get in now so they can be rich tomorrow.

You heard it here first folks. If you have money in stocks, sell. There is a new bottom coming and there’s not going to be any warning. One day you’re going to watch your retirement savings vanish and they aren’t going to come back.

So what should you do you ask? If I were you, I’d be stock piling food, buying real coinage. Silver, gold, copper. When our economy implodes, you’re going to be happy to have some canned soup in the basement to live on.

The government just pumped trillions of dollars into our economy. That can only lead to one end… hyper inflation. Add to that the fact that we now have an unemployment rate over 10% and growing every month and things are going to get ugly in the near future. It’s almost as if the people with money are trying to make this happen. They want the economy to implode. Why? I really don’t know. To do away with the US dollar as the reserve currency of the world might be one reason. But I’m no financial expert and I’ve got no rich, powerful friends to warn me. I just read a lot of information and use that to reach my own conclusions. Something you should also do.

Don’t take my word for it, go out and do some research for yourself. But if you’ve got money in the bank, make sure you have enough working capital to survive a couple months without having access to that bank held money. When the collapse comes, they aren’t going to be open from 9-4 every weekday, they are going to be closed.

The FDIC isn’t going to save your bank account either. They are already saying they are underfunded. So if banks collapse on a grand scale, there isn’t going to be any money to hand out. It’s going to be every man for himself.

Prepare yourself. The only person that can help you is YOU. Unless you want to stand in a bread line every other day for a stale slice of bread, take steps to protect yourself now.

Obama and his little woman enjoy going out on a date once a week. Seems innocuous enough. Many married couples enjoy spending time together. Isn’t that the reason they get married in the first place?

Last weekend, he took his wife to NY to see a play. Obviously it is a breath of fresh air that our newest president is cultured and enjoys these types of things. But…..

I watched a video of them heading to NY. They jumped on their helicopter and then they took a plane to NY. When they were going inside the theater, the street was lined with police for security. Obviously something necessary for a prominent public leader such as Obama. He and the wife wave and go inside to enjoy themselves and media reports claim they did just that.

This leads me to the point of my blog. People are losing their jobs every day. This is leading to epidemic homelessness. There was a video on cnn the other day about how people were living under bridges in California. When Obama took office, he stood on tv and told us all that he “gets it”. That the american people are suffering financially, yet it seems like all he does is spend money.

Exactly how much did that date with his wife cost the american tax payer?

I don’t know about you, but lately my finances have been suffering. The best “date” I’m getting is a night at the drive in for a double feature at $7 a pop. I don’t need a security detail, helicopters, planes, etc to take me there.

When I see Barack and his wife decked out in designer clothes, stepping out of a limo surrounded by secret service and local police it leads me to believe he really doesn’t “get it” at all.

As I was reading about his latest date, I realized that they’d also gone to “their favorite restaurant in illinois” on their last date and I couldn’t help but think, wait a minute. They live in a home where they have gourmet chefs, in a city that is full of high end restaurants and they had to fly to illinois for dinner? Forget the dinner tab, how much money was wasted flying them there and back and providing security?

I guess I should have known this would be the case when Michelle wore $500 sneakers to a homeless shelter to hand out food. I have to wonder if she even realizes what a slap in the face that is to someone who is down on their luck and living in an alley somewhere.

Don’t get me wrong, volunteering at a homeless shelter is a noble cause, but when you show up in clothes that cost more than most people make in a months time, it has to give you pause.

When Barack ran for president, he claimed he wanted to change things in Washington. I guess the change is turning out to be how much money he can spend and charge the American tax payer. I have nothing against the guy using the tools he’s provided, but not to fly half way across the country to eat dinner with his wife. Sorry.

As much as we all loved to hate president Bush, I never heard a news article claiming he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to go out on a date, and then stuck us with the bill.

Wake up america. This president who claims to “get” you, certainly doesn’t act like he does.  Planting a garden and dishing out meals for photo ops does not a compassionate person make.

All this money the government is spending, has to come from somewhere and it’s going to come from YOU. So as you sit around ooooing and aaaahing at the gown Michelle Obama is wearing as she goes out on her 1/2 a million dollar plus date with her husband, look around at what you’ve got left. It might not be there for long.

So our local paper has a sound off section. This is where local people call in to mostly complain about their neighbors dog, or politics, local happenings, things of that nature.

Lately the topic has been about how Joe Biden said he knew where Dick Cheney was hiding out during the Bush administration… in a bunker under his house.

The general consensus is that he’s releasing information that should be secret and that lives are put at risk when something like this is released to the public.  Uh.. what? Sorry, but I thought ol’ Dick was no longer a holder of any office of importance. Why does saying where he used to hide out even matter? Oh that right! It doesn’t. It’s just another nonsense talking point for the Republicans. They have nothing to say or criticize that matters, so they have to invent stuff.

Now. I think the part that gets me the most. Is that during the Bush years, there was this guy named Joseph Wilson. He was married to a chick named Valerie Plame Wilson. She was an undercover CIA agent.

He came out and said that the Bush administration lied about how Saddam Hussein was trying to buy yellow cake uranium from Niger. This made them angry as it was a corner stone of Bush’s 2003 State of the Union address and a “reason for going into Iraq”.

When Ambassador Wilson said that he’d investigated these claims and found them to be utterly baseless, that prince of a man Karl Rove outted Mr. Wilson’s wife to the press…followed by Lewis Libby and Richard Armitage just in case enough people weren’t listening to Karl.

Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure that it’s a federal crime to out a CIA agent? Isn’t there some pesky law on the books concerning that? Wait.. It’s coming to me.. OH YEAH! The Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982.

Were charges ever brought against those guys who actually released information that mattered? Hell No!

So enough about Joe Biden. No one cares where Cheney curled up in the fetal position and hid out when times got rough in America. That’s old news and he’s yesterdays garbage.

Now, could someone please take out the trash. It’s really starting to stink up the place.  Send it back to Jackson Hole, Wyoming where it belongs. Be sure to include all it’s sleazy, snake in the grass buddies too! Dick can use them for target practice!

There has been alot of talk lately about taxing things like soft drinks, beer, junk food, etc… Things that can have a negative impact on your health. Lots of people up in arms about all of this tax talk. Doesn’t the government take enough of our money already? I say lets put an end to taxes and while we are at it… lets end all the wasteful government spending that gets done with those tax dollars… Here are a few things I can think of off the top of my head…

Lets completely do away with the education system. Who needs an education anyway… all that money that could be saved by not teaching our kids could cut our taxes immensely.

From now on we should fix the road in front of our own houses and wherever we drive. To hell with letting the local and state governments do it. We should do it ourselves. Imagine the tax dollars that could be saved if we just do it ourselves.

Police? Fuck the police! Buy a gun and take it with you wherever you go. You can be your own protection. Provide your own forensics to investigate crimes and all the other wasteful things those cops do. We don’t need em anymore. That should save us billions.

Military? Fuck em. You have a gun now since there are no police, so you can be part of the new militia. Lets hope no bad guys attack with planes, boats and better weapons. But, just imagine the savings….

The CDC. We don’t need no stinking CDC.. especially with all these recent outbreaks of new flu’s and the near pandemic of swine flu. What the hell do we need these guys trying to research a vaccine for the swine flu and keep people up to date on the spread of the disease? Screw that. disband the CDC and let us take our chances with the virus. Maybe this pandemic will only kill 5% of the world population… then again.. maybe it will take 50% since there will be no one working to stop it.

And speaking of research. To hell with all this government money that goes to research and development projects.. I mean christ.. Who uses things like the internet anyway?

Come to think of it.. theres one more thing that we need to put an end to… All the fucking whining people are doing! Shut the fuck up and pay the extra 3 cents on your bottle of coke or the extra $2 on your case of beer. There is a big difference between the taxes being imposed by our government and the taxes that were imposed on the colonists more than 200 years ago that caused the real tea party followed by a revolution. The difference is that we are seeing something as a result of our taxes paid. ALL OF US! What the fuck every happened to ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country?

During the last election, Phil Graham said that we are a nation of whiners. While I disagree with the principles behind why he made the statement and believe that Phil Graham is a scamming motherfucker that should spend the rest of his days in prison for the legislation he helped to pass which in turn led to the economic issues we are facing today. He was right in the sense that we truly have become a nation of whiners. Everyone wants something from the government, yet no one wants to contribute. It’s getting old. Shut the fuck up, stop the whining, get off your ass and do something about it. If you don’t want to pay the taxes anymore, then find a better solution and run for office.

Apparently republicans are quick to forget. At least that is the impression I have been getting lately. There have been many moments that make me think that… but this morning I was getting my son ready for school and decided to turn on the tv to see what’s happening in the world. I turned the channel to msnbc to watch Morning Joe. Certainly not because I like Joe Scarborough… I think he is an arrogant, self serving asshole who couldn’t hack it as a politician. No, I have to admit, I watch it for Mika. Anyway… on to my rant… This morning the shit spewing forth from Joe’s mouth had to do with the release of the CIA memos about torture. He was rambling on about how several politicians knew what was going on back in 2002 and 2003 as they were heading up committees that were briefed on these actions. Yet they didn’t speak up or do anything about it back then and now they are outraged by the knowledge that we tortured. He went on about how in the aftermath of 9/11 they were all willing to do whatever it took but now that the country is “safe” they are outraged.

Seems like maybe Mr. Scarborough has forgotten a thing or two about how the Bush administration operated which pretty much falls in line with how the rest of the Republican party is acting these last few months (I could go off on a whole new rant just on that.. but im going to stay focused on my point and get this over with…).

I recall years of hearing shit like “you’re either with us, or against us” spewing forth from the almighty Bush administration. The patriotism of people being brought into question. Whether or not they loved their country. We were all told that the shit the President and his administration was doing was needed in order to protect our country and if it was questioned by anyone, the person was labeled as Anti-American or non being a patriot.

Maybe Mr. Scarborough has forgotten about all of that? Or maybe he is just going on being his old self serving, arrogant, asshole like self. Who knows, but there isn’t much room for anything else in his statements as far as I’m concerned.

I’m sitting here doing my normal morning ritual of checking email while I sip on a hot cup of tea. The tv is on in the other room and I can hear it, but I’m not listening. Something catches my attention and I look over and focus. “Obama and his liberal congress are spending $1 billion an hour of YOUR MONEY!”, it’s yelling at me. If I can find the vid, I’ll edit and embed it here so you can enjoy this glorious commercial.
ok. edit.. here is the vid..

This guy has been president for a couple days past 2 months. ALL the republicans have done since the day he was elected is bad mouth this guy. They don’t like his ideas, the directions he’s taking the country and all they do is act like a couple of spoiled children who just experienced their first spanking.

You guys had 8 years to screw things up so incredibly bad, but when the country finally gets fed up and gives control to the other side, in the hopes that they can unscrew us, you all throw a fit.. the likes of which I’ve never seen anyone over the age of 3 partake in!

Instead of attacking the other side, while offering no viable alternatives of your own, why don’t you guys go circle the wagons, hire some new PR firms and figure out where you lost touch with the people you go to washington to serve.

Americans want you to follow the constitution, not shred it at every turn. They want the right to free speech. Period. No strings attached. “I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it!”

Crying heart liberals aside, we want the right to bear arms. There is NO reason why a guy who enjoys taking his sons into the woods to hunt, should be denied that pleasure. There should be no limitations placed on his ability to obtain hunting rifles and the ammunition for them. His ability to obtain a machine gun, I’m not so much behind because if you need a machine gun, to hunt… sorry buddy, you ain’t much of a hunter! But, the fact remains, that even if you ban Joe Q public’s access to buying a machine gun, the people who want to use them for nefarious reasons will find a way to obtain them anyway.

Well, anyway. I’m not going to map out a new plan for you. I’ll let you guys do that all by yourselves. Just sit down and take a look around. The US isn’t super left or super right. We are centrist.

We want a balance of things. Not all one side or the other. All we want is to raise a family, make a good living and live a good life. It’s really not asking for much, but lately, It has felt like that’s not what our gov’t wants for us.

I’ll let you in on a little hint, We know things are bad. None of us want to sit and watch anti-president commercials all day long on top of wondering where the mortgage payment is coming from. There won’t be another election for 4 years, so sit down and zip it. Your guy lost. It’s just sour grapes now and it’s making you look bad.

Get your act together and find a real leader for your party. Not Sarah Palin, Not Bobbi Jindal. These people are not going to fire up your base. You need someone with charisma to bring your message to the people and you need a message that makes sense. Hate doesn’t work.

With spring comes many things. Warmer temperatures, flowers, birds, oh yeah and spring flooding in the mid west.

Year after year I’m bombarded with images of homes submerged in water to their roof. People filling sandbags and crying on tv about how horrible this is.

Ok. Call me heartless here, but if I got flooded out even once. I’d be packing up and moving. There is NO WAY I’d be dealing with this year after year. Why there are so many people who still live so close to these rivers that flood like clock work, I just will never be able to wrap my head around.

Obviously I feel bad that they have their lives disrupted in this way, but if every time you walk through a door way, you hit your head on the jam, wouldn’t you learn to duck? Come on people. Use the brains god gave you! MOVE!

So anyway… a couple days back I wrote about how prison labor will be the new, cheap way to get things done. Imagine my surprise when I’m watching an associated press clip about the flooding and I see how they are using prisoners to help fill sand bags and protect towns from the rising river.

I guess I’m more in tune with what’s coming than I realized!

Today it’s sandbags and tomorrow it will be the toys your kids play with!

My significant other’s grandmother died last week. This meant attending a wake and funeral filled with his relatives. This isn’t a bad thing mind you, it just exposed me to some different people.  One of them is a correctional officer. That’s just a fancy way of saying she works in a prison.

When I asked her why she chose that line of work, I was told,”I’m a high school graduate and it pays $20 an hr. Where else am I going to work where I will make that kind of money?”

At first, I began thinking about how we have several prisons in this general area. They are a huge employer and whenever there’s any talk of a new one opening everyone in the area gets their panties tingling with excitement.

I personally could never figure this out. Think about it this way. Yes. Now there are jobs, BUT, we live in a quiet town in the middle of Pennsylvania. The majority of the crime we had was a drunk guy beating his wife, a guy in front of a bar, or passing out on the sidewalk.

In the last 10 yrs it’s gone from that to where we actually had a gang fight a few towns over on saturday. The paper claimed they were in the “bloods”. Now, why the hell would the “bloods” be out in redneckville? Oooooooooooooh yeah! They got put in jail out here. They brought out the wife and little childrens and realized, hey, it’s cheaper to live. It’s easy to get on public assistance, get a decent HUD home, ect. When I get out, I can deal drugs through my old connections and make a killing. If that doesn’t work out, I can just rob all these old people who don’t even lock there doors! This must be eutopia!

I see bad things for this area in 10 yrs it’s going to be a war zone out there. From mayberry to the inner city.

There used to be lots of industry around. Dress shops, factories, small businesses… but they’ve all closed. The dress shops are in india now, the factories are in china or mexico, walmart squashed the small businesses.  So all that’s left is prisons..

It also got me thinking about how I keep hearing how the US has the highest percentage of it’s people incarcerated. Something like 1 in 100 people are currently behind bars.  2.3 million people were in our prison system at the end of 2007.

It’s nothing new for non-violent prisoners to be used to do unpleasant tasks such as cleaning up the trash on the side of the road. In NJ as well as PA I’ve driven past the guys in the orange jumpsuits with gloves and a trash bag. It’s really awesome that someone who the tax payers are paying to house, clothe and feed can do something like tidy up the back roads and the highways. Right? For whatever reason, people are slobs and think the world is their garbage can. But that’s a blog for another day.

This brings me to the fact that the countries we’ve exploited for their cheap labor over the past few yrs, aren’t as cheap anymore. With our tanking dollar and the worldwide recession, it doesn’t save a company as much money to use outsourced labor as it used to.

Well, where else will you find people who are just sitting around idle to work cheap for you? Oh wait! I know where there are 2.3 million!

Our growing budget deficits will have people screaming about how we spend way to much money on housing prisoners and that they need to start “giving back”.

Unemployment brings more crime, so there will be even more people going to jail. Police will be screaming that they need better funding, more officers to deal with the growing crime problem. The people around here are mostly older. Living on SSI or whatever pensions they might happen to have. They can barely afford to pay all the taxes they pay now. There’s only so far you can stretch a rubber band before it snaps.

A new form of revenue must be found! Wait.. what about Corporate Prison Sponsorship??

Can you picture it? “Sneaker” correctional institution, “Pear” Penitentiary.. they’ll all wear orange jumpsuits with a company logo on it, sleep in a prison cell and during the day they’ll make cheap products for corporations that they’ll sell to rich and middle class people in china and india.

The entire thing will be subsidized by the corporate sponsor. They supply the money, you supply the labor and finished products. Correctional officers become your new “masters” and you become the new “slave”.

You BETTER make 50 pairs of shoes today!

How many tv specials have you seen about how “good” prisoners have it? They just sit around lifting weights, eating, reading and sleeping. It’s like a vacation for them on our dime! Now they can make your next gucci purse. Your new shower curtain!

Instead of made in china, everything you buy is going to say.. Made In Prison!
