ICE is offering a $132K to $185K per year for supervisory roles & $306K per year to concentration camp managers. Both jobs have ZERO education requirement.
Meanwhile the average starting salary is $46,526 for teachers and $68,485 for nurses. Both jobs require a Bachelors degree & often a graduate degree.
It's a lie that we can't pay teachers & nurses. An uneducated and sick populace is easier to control, creates higher crime rates, and feeds the prison industrial complex. This is by design.
Holy sh*t. This is a real xkcd, not funny, disturbing, and also one that must be shared

I've been thinking recently about "historical amnesia" or "generational amnesia." It can also be framed as a "success paradox," where the very success of certain policies or controls causes people to forget the original problem they were designed to address.
Vaccinations, the Voting Rights Act, fighting a war to stop fascism.
It's like after about 3 generations or so, folks forget how bad $THING was, and are just itching to stop paying for the controls that worked, and continue to work.
“Sadly, our country is being ran in such way that our government as a whole is far less effective than the sum of its parts.”
Nothing to do with the argument being made, but this misuse of “ran” will never not be nails on a chalkboard for me. Given that this was written by a distinguished academic and made it past the Globe’s editors, though, I suspect I’m going to have to just suck it up and get used to it. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/commentary/article-how-not-to-run-a-country-government-ineptitude-and-canadas-economic/
Means testing harms the mean household and is just plain mean, by design.
Study after study shows that providing social safety nets - benefits the vast majority of people support - is cheaper and more efficient when you get rid of the hurdles to prove you qualify.
Means testing punishes those most in need who are often least able to spend time and energy to complete the intentionally difficult process to access benefits, and results in higher costs.
Spending on private nurses in Canada by public tax dollars is up 6-fold in just 3 years, now at CA$1.5B by the end of 2024. This is money that conservative premiers give to wealthy donors who help get conservative premiers elected, all on our dime.
We could hire all those nurses back, give them a raise, and still save tax dollars. #CanPoli #CdnPoli
Nationwide spending on for-profit nursing agencies has boomed to billions within one fiscal year, revealed new research led by Dr. Joan Almost, a professor in the Queen’s University School of Nursing.
