Laws passed during the era of the New Deal prohibited the use of prison labor with the exception of state institutions. However, lobbying by corporations eventually allowed them to use prison labor by 1979, and by 1995 businesses won exemptions from minimum wage laws which permitted them to exploit prison labor for, according to Elizabeth S. Anderson, “mere pennies an hour.” She adds that “many are forced to work in unsafe conditions without protective equipment, because workplace health and safety laws do not apply to prison workers.”[39]
Yall laughed at Kanye West but AFAIK he was the only candidate to focus on rewriting the 13th ammendment
Dude’s a fucking nazi, i don’t care what his focus was.
also… “focus”? iirc it was like 2-3 tweets so… idk if we can give him that much credit
I mean that’s a pretty hardcore presidential platform by today’s standards
I didn’t laugh at Kanye till he came out as a Nazi. Even when he had his MAGA hat on he was supporting i.e. Colin Kaepernick and 13th Amendment changes and that was pretty cool despite the other loser behavior. Also: Bernie Sanders certainly has focused on the 13th amendment.
To be fair. They were laughing at him for all his other positions. Being right about one thing doesn’t negate being wrong about all the others. But it is something we definitely need to address.
Yes. Let’s vote for the neo nazis because of his one good idea. What could go wrong?
(Remember, that time when he praised hitler? Praised a dude that thought he was subhuman because of his ancestry?)
(Also, you do realize that changing the 13th requires another amendment, so that’s basically not going to happen.)
That’s what clowns are for my friend.
