  • Not every state has the ability to force labor (generally per their state constitutions), if I remember a conversation I had years ago with my dad who was a judge. Just they tend to structure their prison sentencing and it release programs such that you’re trading years more of your life if you don’t “voluntarily” cooperate. So you know, tomato tomato.

    It’s one of the bigger problems my state has, its reliance on its prisoner-slave workforce for vital services.



  • my favorite job, favorite boss, our dress code was “if you can get here without getting arrested it’s fine”. the day i showed up dressed like i was going to the beach (because guess what i was doing at noon) the boss came back and said “okay, new rule, if i have a client coming in you need to at least have pants and shoes on”



  • My mother was undergoing some weird medical treatment that made her skin super sensitive to UV radiation. She was in full sleeves and a vest and gloves and a hat and facescarf and everything covered everywhere. I sincerely recommended to her a hijab or burqa because it would make going out easier. A couple main articles of clothing, maybe sunglasses and gloves, and she would be fine. Unfortunately the religious element of it put her off too much, but clothes are clothes.
