They've also discovered that future lawsuit settlements are very, very expensive.

Republican billionaires delude themselves that they've created the perfect corrupt convict labor leasing scheme.

The problems caused by people like #Trump and #Musk can be solved by not cooperating with them. The more people do this, the sooner these two problems will no longer be relevant. The most obvious form of non-cooperation is confrontation. But any business relationship, large or small, should also be avoided. Don't drive a #Tesla, don't use #X or #Starlink, and the same applies to Trump's businesses.
