TIL 40 states in the US charge you $20-$80 a day for being incarcerated in prison.
Very weird that I am so old and have literally never heard this mentioned in a TV show or book or movie or anything.
In four out of five states, if you go to prison, you are literally paying for the time you spend there.
As you can guess, this results in crippling debt as soon as you're released.
The county gets back a fraction of what they hold over your head the rest of your life until you commit suicide(or die naturally and peacefully with the sword of damocles hanging over your head).
$20-$80 a day according to Rutgers.
Counties apparently sue people and employ wage garnishment to get back the money that majority of people obviously cannot pay back.

Because Europe has been exporting their dirty laundry to poorer countries, and exploiting them, so they can point at them to claim moral/scientific/technological/military superiority.
But, they didn't realize it's the same fucking earth that has a climate that's deeply intertwined.
Now watch them point to poor countries to do more to avert the climate change like they are a saint with good PR.
