One of the saddest things I find in this article is the number of families at the point they think the experience of jail will make their kids “scared straight”, or that the kid just doesn’t have a responsible adult in their life. Instead of “scared straight” we get “traumatized into submission” and sometimes it’s the ultimate nihilist submission… suicide. Incarceration (esp the way and frequency we do it) is not the answer. Even more so for kids.

F that Sh*+. Unfortunately he’s going to have people that have to have the job for immigration, health, or financial purposes. And we’ll hold it up as a badge of honor to celebrate hustle culture.

Hint, if you’re an employee that isn’t compensated proportionally (and that could be negatively or positively) given the company’s performance there is absolutely nothing worth grinding for in a JOB.
