Is the goal of the US government to put everyone in jail?
ChatGPT tells me that 15% of the population is the absolute maximum amount you can enslave. Anything beyond that would be too hard and dangerous to manage. So while not everyone, it's still a big number.
The current imprisonment rate in the US is 0.54%. I'm sure some people might think this number needs to get to 10%+ asap.
