California Gov. Gavin Newsom proposes slashing millions from 'public safety' as the Democratic state grapples with a massive budget deficit totaling $37.9 billion.
lol why do you feel the need to flex your wealth like that’s going to change my mind somehow? You still don’t know anything about me. People who posture like that generally do so out of some insecurity so they don’t look weak. Have I touched a nerve?
And wow congratulations, you found 2 blue states that have seen a little decline in recent years but fail to recognize the trend over the past decade of those places, and also fail to see how the small decline in population of two blue states doesn’t refute my statement. Oh my god, how is Oregon doing to recover from a 0.6% decline?!?!?!
Go to Florida if you hate it there so much. I’m sure you can build a nice big raft with all your money that will keep you safe as the state sinks further into the ocean.
I am not flexing at all. It is what it is. You haven’t touched a nerve at all. Low-income people don’t grasp how much we pay in taxes since they don’t pay anything close to what we pay in taxes. It’s why they repeat buzzwords like tax the rich or the rich don’t pay their fair share when we do.
It refutes your statement because you didn’t cite anything and just babbled. You are free to post a counter cite.
Also your claim about private prisons was wrong as well. About 8% of the prison population is in a private prison.
I don’t need to post a counter cite a 0.6% decline is nothing.
Omg it must be so hard to have money. You should just give it away if you’re sick of paying all those taxes.
Hahaha I know the 8% figure you’re talking about and it’s not that. The people who have been put into for-prisons in the past 2 years make up 8% of the imprisoned population, or about 13.5x the rate of people who left Oregon.
Think about that though. 8% of all incarcerated people in for-profit prisons were put there in 2022. That’s a HUGE chunk of the imprisoned population in only the last few years, and it’s only going to get worse.
Hahaha I know the 8% figure you’re talking about and it’s not that.
No you don’t. As you are wrong once again. The total prison population of private prisons is 8%.
Private for-profit prisons incarcerated 90,873 American residents in 2022, representing 8% of the total state and federal prison population. Since 2000, the number of people housed in private prisons has increased 5%.

I know we are not in the same bracket. Not even close. Not in income or wealth. If you have to work to make a living then we are not in the same boat.

So far everything you have said is wrong.

Hahaa you just confirmed I was right.
Now break it down by state. Your previous Florida is up to 14%, a 200% increase in the same time frame.
In fact, most the states with the highest stats are red states.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
No, the article very clearly shows you are wrong.
You said the majority of prisoners were going to private prisons. That is false.
Going, not are. The number is growing and in many states it’s hitting a majority.
You are confusing an upward trend for a static figure.
