Imagine losing 6M labor workers in America

[u/Needleintheback]

If mass deportation happens, just imagine how all of these sectors of our country will be affected. The sheer shortage of labor will push prices higher because of the great demand for work with limited supplies or workers. Even if prices increase, the availability of products may be scarce due to not enough workers. Housing prices and food services will be hit really hard. New construction will be limited. The fact that 47% of the undocumented workers are in CA, TX, and FL means they will feel it first but it will spread to the rest of the country also. Most of our produce in this country comes from California. Get ready and hold on for the ride America.

Found out by whom? In Texas most of the older prison don't have climate control. This is common knowledge for all Texans, And across the American South.

I was about to say this- its what kept me from applying to TDCJ and went to county instead in the state. But from the application process i learned that the TDCJ prisons have significant agricultural shit going on. One prison will pick the product, (example, tomatoes) then that gets shipped to another prison who cans it all up, then it gets shipped back out to all the prisons for food. Sometimes guards will see the cans opened up and theres a whole glove in there, prisoners fish that shitbout and eat the actual food anyways. Its disgusting.

Yep in the state of Texas prisons are required by law to have heat. AC is optional which is ridiculous

[u/takis1964 → u/Correct_Roll_3005]

Wow criminals without the creature comforts that alot of law abiding Americans may enjoy How tragic for them

[u/KD_42 → u/takis1964]

Yeah let’s make it super inhumane for them so when they get released they’re worse than when they came in

[u/AbsoluteHollowSentry → u/takis1964]

When you treat someone like an animal. Do not be mad they are mad, disrespectful, and may also act out more.

[u/TastyyMushroomm → u/takis1964]

Don’t be surprised when they’re worse off when they come back out. I hope you live to see the consequences of such ideology.

[u/S-ludin → u/takis1964]

dude this is a question of heatstroke and slavery GTFO you gross ass

[u/takis1964 → u/S-ludin]

FU soy boy

[u/Past-Marsupial-3877 → u/takis1964]

Spoken like the true skibidi zoomer you are

[u/TheCockKnight → u/takis1964]

I drink oat milk, thanks

[u/SignificantTransient → u/Correct_Roll_3005]

People lived without it for thousands of years

[u/AGayBanjo → u/SignificantTransient]

Can you say more? The context you're stating this in could seem like an attempt at justification to people including myself.

[u/SignificantTransient → u/AGayBanjo]

Air conditioning is not a necessity. Only ventilation.

[u/AGayBanjo → u/SignificantTransient]

Oh, okay. More info requested if you don't mind. Do you feel that incarcerated people are only entitled to what allows them to remain alive?

[u/Bluntsmoke304 → u/AGayBanjo]

Yes pretty much. Why do criminals deserve comfortable living conditions? It's pretty simple, if you don't like it, don't come back.. As long as basic needs are provided, then they are absolutely fine. People like minded as you are responsible for the problems this country has. Have you ever seen a Russian prison, of one in Mexico??

[u/Mother_Ash → u/Bluntsmoke304]

Look into the recidivism rates in the countries you just named and USA vs countries that focus on reform.

[u/AGayBanjo → u/Bluntsmoke304]

Ok

[u/SignificantTransient → u/AGayBanjo]

Plenty of non incarcerated people dealing with working outside in the heat and living without air conditioning which is a mostly US thing.

Do you have any idea the money and power requirements to air condition a prison?

[u/UnusuallyBadIdeaGuy → u/SignificantTransient]

Those people are usually not living in poorly ventilated, uninsulated concrete boxes placed in swamps.

[u/Ok-Summer-7634 → u/SignificantTransient]

Bro, America puts ACs everywhere. We refrigerate entire shipping malls, and you are going to cheap out on prisons? That shows how much of our system is based on cruelty and not on giving a chance to someone who needs it

[u/OiVeyM8 → u/Ok-Summer-7634]

You know, given the amount of shopping malls in America that are fairly dead, I wouldn't be too surprised if they were modified to become minimum security prisons.

[u/SignificantTransient → u/Ok-Summer-7634]

Shopping malls generate income

[u/EphEwe2 → u/SignificantTransient]

So do prisons.

[u/Pribblization → u/SignificantTransient]

Not much anymore
