Every generation hears these lines.

"Unions will cause economic calamity that none shall survive."

"Overtime pay laws will cause economic calamity that none shall survive."

"Anti child-labor laws will cause economic calamity that none shall survive."

"Banning asbestos will cause economic calamity that none shall survive."

The people saying this stuff have no floor.

I think the guy is lying, personally; he's obviously attacking an idea he sees as a threat to his livelihood and power structure. There's no way prison labor is literally holding communities together in Arizona (someone from there help me out if I'm wrong).

This dude is employed by capital and capital will rotate this dude's position ad infinitum if he stops attacking anything less than chattel slavery, until some future iterant of this bootlicker builds the Matrix and inmates are harvested for their bioenergy and any choice halves of our symmetric organs; instead of prison tattoos, you leave with only one lung, and only once you've produced at least 75% of your sentenced wattage, you know, truth-in-sentencing reforms, gotta keep the lights on. Thanks to anyone who stuck that out to the end.
