As an Australian, I really don't understand why the USA has a fucking PRISON INDUSTRY, like for profit corporations trying to get as many prisoners as possible so they can get that sweet sweet money.
Fuck me, if every single aspect of life has a corpo behind it, there's bound to be endless lobbying to completely halt progress in everything, which makes sense for the USA's homelessness, healthcare and education systems.
America has been taken over by relentless billionaires in their endless quest for more wealth and power. What's there to understand?
