Australian news says
The Trump administration argues the US is doing its part to combat forced labour but other countries are not, putting American companies at a competitive disadvantage.
However, many analysts say US President Donald Trump is simply trying to replace the tariffs that were invalidated by the US Supreme Court earlier this year, and the forced labour investigation is merely a pretext.
Some might argue that the American incarceration system is a form of forced labour itself.
It literally is. Read the constitutional amendment outlawing slavery in the US. Slavery is outlawed in all cases EXCEPT as punishment for crimes committed. Penal Slavery is literally explicitly legal under the US constitution.
Slavery is outlawed in all cases EXCEPT as punishment for crimes committed.
Imo that's quite fucked up. Then wiki says;
" The Thirteenth Amendment exempts penal labor from its prohibition of forced labor. This allows prisoners who have been convicted of crimes (not those merely awaiting trial) to be required to perform labor or else face punishment while in custody."
Basically legal slavery is still existing in the US.
Those prisoner's labour then gets sold to fast food stores etc and the prison pockets a vast majority of the pay. If they're safe enough to work at McDonalds then they can be released. But it's not about that, it's about trading human lives for corporate profits
As much as I agree with you on everything you have said a big amount of society would not agree with you assuming they understood entirety of your statement. A part of legal system is not just prevention and reformation, but punishment. It is barbaric but it stems from society as a whole. I am kind of glad that we were told that in uni (computer law for 2 credits) nobody could think of the last part. I like my uni and the people, but it was not so hard to notice it outside and sometimes with even a ridiculous amount of hypocrisy.
In my opinion being put in a cell excluded from society for an extended period is punishment enough, I know I would hate to spend 20 something hours a day looking at the same 4 walls. Also can you imagine having your employer replace you and your coworkers with prisoners because they're cheaper, you already had a shitty job, now you don't even have that because a literal criminal too it (ironically of no fault of their own).
If the funds for their work (being paid at least minimum wage) were being put in to a capital fund to help people who have completed their sentence re enter society of be way more willing to agree with you but at the moment the only ones profiting are the private companies "hiring" prisoners and the for-profit prison system.
The Supreme Court said this was ILLEGAL so I'm GLAD to see him Do It AGAIN!
-Law and Order Republicans!
Misdemeanor being in the country illegally? Brutalize and kill them and those who protests!
Multiple felonies and defiance of court orders? Worship him!
Versus the U.S. employing prison labor for various industries, not increasing the federal minimum wage for two decades, and reducing even that paltry amount for the restaurant industry?
It's literally just because they're hoping this one will survive the inevitable legal challenges. The glass houses they're in have been bulldozed years ago.
i wouldnt be surprised its mostly red states doing it. since they use the prison population as part of the census, to boost thier hold on the house seats.
Never forget, while you're paying more for everything in your life, Donald Trump still raped kids.
Took my Chevy to the levy but it was too high to buy, So there’ll be no more drinking whiskey and rye….
Bye bye big american lie
Ah, another round of handouts to big companies at the expense of consumers and taxpayers (when this lot get shot down as well and they reimburse the companies that sell the tariffed goods, not the people who paid extra). It's win win (well, not for you).
Didn't we have a Supreme Court case that ruled this was illegal?
Too bad there's no enforcement, I guess.
According to the Guardian:
"Canada, Mexico, Australia, EU, UK and China among dozens of economies listed in US president’s renewed effort of near-global import taxes after supreme court struck down his ‘liberation day’ tariffs"
While Trump is unequivocally a massive loser, the title of this article is kind of misleading, isn't it? Sure, it's an imposition of "double-digit tariffs", insofar as 10% to 12.5% is double-digit. The current tariffs are at 10% (also double-digit). Practically speaking this is all but an extension of the current tariffs
I wonder if he still knows how those tariffs actually work
