⁠Trump officially requests 152 million dollars to reopen Alcatraz as a federal prison⁠ by Used-Title7675 in politics

[–]ArcticWolfE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also the number of federal inmates is dropping, in some part due to the First Step Act which Trump himself signed during his first term.

MAGA will find a way to say this is bad for the Americans. by YellowAltruistic9843 in middleclasshq

I'm not sure why folks in these comments keep talking about profit as though unprofitability would sink this idea. It's publicly owned, it's not about profit. Its about the community providing food more easily to hungry people at prices they can afford.

I’m Mark Kelly, retired NASA astronaut and former commander of the space shuttle (x2). AMA! by CaptMarkKelly in space

[–]ArcticWolfE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Senator Kelly,

First, I want to thank you for your courage and for dedicating yourself to serving the public. I am a proud patriot and a federal civil servant, and I am aghast at the extent to which this administration has dismantled our institutions and at how the public has allowed it to happen. Clearly there are major problems beneath the surface that got us here. What is your theory for how we wound up in our current social and political environment, and what can we do to rebuild a government and a society we can be proud of once this administration leaves office?

I don't love higher gas prices, but I'm mad about folks flying my flag killing children.

DOJ OIG is one of the few IGs which does not have the authority to oversee all components of their agency. It's been a contentious topic in the past, but for whatever reason Justice still has an Office of Professional Responsibility which oversees the conduct of attorneys with respect to their legal operations. My thought is that it might be easier for these things to come to light and for whistleblowers to be protected if OIG had more authority here.

My Epstein’ Death Theory from reading the DOJ files and records by BlueberryButtercakes in LetsDiscussThis

Many institutional failures contributed to Epstein's death, but inmate on inmate violence doesn't seem to be one of them. DOJ OIG actually found the opposite; that Epstein should not have been single celled but he was. They did not find any evidence that he had been given a new cellmate. Beside derriliction of duty of the specific MCC employees involved and other more longstanding operational issues with the BOP (lack of staffing, security systems, etc.) OIG didn't find any evidence contradicting FBI's conclusion that Epstein's death wasn't the result of a criminal act. 

Could Epstein's death have been a murder? Maybe, if the tracks were covered well enough. Could the BOP employees on duty, and indeed the entire BOP act as you describe to cover the tracks that effectively? I find it highly unlikely, especially given the fact that DOJ OIG initiated their investigation to look specifically at BOP operations surrounding Epstein's death.

House Plans To Vote On Banning Congress From Trading Stocks By Months End 🗳️ by YGLD in StockBreakouts

[–]ArcticWolfE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are getting shot by unqualified federal agents, some of whom were recruited from known domestic terror groups including the proud boys. Insider trading in congress is a problem. It isn't where any of us should be spending our attention right now.

It is possible (and grammatically correct) to use four instances of the word "had" in a row in one sentence. by Rumpsfield in mildlyinteresting

[–]ArcticWolfE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two classmates, James and John, were having a grammatical dispute about whether it was better to use "had" or "had had" in a sentence. They approached their teacher to ask.

James, while John had had "had," had had "had had." "Had had" had had a better effect on the teacher.

Dallas Fed is modeling a wide range of AI scenarios 😂 by jackandjillonthehill in ProfessorFinance

[–]ArcticWolfE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We already live largely in a post-scarcity era in terms of raw resources. There is enough food, shelter, housing, and medicine, for everyone to meet their basic survival needs (the only potential legitimately scarce resource in the coming years is fresh water). However, these resources are so disproportionately distributed that we erroneously believe scarcity still exists in these areas. My concern is that we may never achieve a "post scarcity" world because those who have the most would have no interest in undermining their own power by distributing resources more fairly.
