May 2019

deeper dive into some of the underlying components shows you how fucked up our 'priorities' are: i) 'drug war' shit that disproportionately targeted persons of color; ii) continued institutionalized racism; iii) for-profit (yes 'for profit'!) prison operators.

Back to the white collar folks noted in the original post, they dont fall into any of the categories above. Should there be an arrest of any of them, I am hopeful there will be 'hell to pay' in the way of national protests, strikes, etc.
