I'm not moving my stuff just because the government is incompetent.
In France they just cut off heads when this happens, then go about their business.

I am still waiting for people to get serious in North America. Maybe take an example from the old French Revolution... Hell, I offered as my civic duty to build the gallows and pull the lever a few hundred times, for free. But just about everyone I know wants to pull that lever at least once as well, because they see how traitors are involved.
Maybe we could have a lottery for lever pullers ;-)

Haven't you figured it out yet?
Once not too long ago, the states ran the prisons, and there were a reasonable number of those incarcerated, because they had committed crimes.
Then, after 1984, private for-profit prisons were introduced and have spread so that many prisons in the US are now private.
Alongside this, the incarcerated population of the USA has risen so that it now incarcerates more of its citizens, both in total numbers, and in per capita terms, than any other country in the world.
So, the current US borders really represent an expansion of the imprisoned, to include all those without sufficient funds to escape the USA.
I don't think anyone in authority wants to allow the source of their wealth and power to bleed away.

Your government locks down the whole country for a a couple cases of COVID, uber Chad Biden let's many thousands of unvaccinated in through our southern border monthly even as our doctors are holding press conferences about how the unvaccinated are making their jobs impossible.
Tell me again about American prisons?
lol

Would you prefer we all pay through the nose to keep human waste alive? When I was with the military and CI, our ROE was very easy and to be honest, we had NO repeat offenders, no garbage burdening taxpayers. If high treason can be proven, it should be dealt with permanently.

Wanting to kill people, and doing so, isn't the greater crime?
