Got a bafflingly naive Facebook post from an ultralib “friend” that reminded me of this.
“All of these people crying about how expensive and impossible all of the ‘green technology is going to come about...hell,why not get the dudes in prison to help along w/the project? Win/win situation for everyone involved, including educating the criminals to instigate a new way of living using these things that they are building...and, who know...if/when they actually get out of jail, perhaps they would have this brand new, very valuable and in demand skill that would finally help them build a decent lifestyle/world view for them, finally....?”
Normally this girl, who has hundreds of “friends” gets a dozen or so “huzzahs!” and likes whenever she posts something brilliant, but this one landed with a splat, not surprisingly.
Isn't she precious... ya just want to pat her on the head and give a pained by patient smile... my response would be:
"Hell, how ya gonna get that past all those, y'know, like UNIONS who, like, wanna have, y'know, a piece of the, like, action?"
