They should. But when they do, the people who made the decisions often come out unscathed, and the problems transfer to other people.

For example, when SVB was failing. Top executives sold their shares and paid out large bonuses to staff during the months before the collapse. Then when the collapse happened, the bank simply dissolved and the FDIC picked up the bill. The institution failed, but the people who ran it into the ground didn't.

Very cool!

I know that place, that sounds like Vermont

Not for any good reasons. That trend happened after the criminal reform act and the only reason that went through was to increase the labour force. The for profits systems started to affect the pool of cheap labour to exploit

I was thinking of the precession of the entire orbit, but yeah, precesssion of the equinoxes is the earth's axis, not orbit.

I know only enough about this stuff to be dangerous, so I appreciate the correct answer :)

Better than in Germany, we pay the criminals more than many minimum wage workers earn. XD

Prison billionaires is a thing. Just sad. Something’s definitely wrong when US is on top of the bandits in Rwanda.

Fucking hell that is so true. Millionaires and billionaires get to gamble with the economy constantly and every 10 to 20 years we’ve been the ones to pay the price when the gamble fails to pay off.

I just know my little sister was raped and the person is still walking in the streets after 2 years in prison. Well 8 months rest was in county. We dont have accountability. I was asking for solutions to the people who prey on people. Murderes rapists child molesters. Watch local news. Every night 2 people killed, thats 2 people who should not be alive. Eye for a eye, a tooth for a tooth.

I ask, where you are in life, are you there by circumstances or by the choices you made?.

The data has changed slightly since I made this poster last year, apologies for any confusion, I was not trying to be misleading.

Hold on, you have like 5% that think it's awesome to have human exctinction?

This is more about the mindset of 1.7% of AI researchers than anything else

Worry? No. Stupid institutions that do stupid things should fail.

That is actually beautiful data, thanks.

My bad, shouldn't have assumed. I don't think that would be the worst thing if it could be done peacefully

The colors are not arbitrary, each map has 6 color groups that contain an equal range of values. For the global map, the rates are 0-629 so the color group changes whenever the rate goes up by ~104 inmates per 100,000. That is just where the two countries happen to fall in the dataset.

Look man I don't really want to get into it, I think it's fair to say you and I don't agree on who should be imprisoned in perpetuity. I'm definitely on the side of the argument that most people who are repeat offenders would rather not be repeat offenders. They aren't super bad people so much as folks who have had their opportunities greatly diminished by past mistakes/desperation.

I don't live in the US fyi. I think most countries will cease to exist in their current form sooner or later and it doesn't necessarily has to be a bad thing...

This is the most impactful infographic I've seen in a while. Thanks for sharing! And on drugs topic, just say no🤣

The high rate of black incarceration in Vermont points more to the fact that there are hardly any black people in Vermont than that Vermont is racist. I wonder how many incarcerated blacks in Vermont were Vermont residents at the time of arrest, or miscreants from MA and NY.
