Wonder how many schools that needed upgrading for overlooked. A very select few companies build prisons. Gotta be a buddy of the governor's or lobbyist.

In no way does this reflect on my opinion of that douchebag in California.

Newsom prefers making the entire state a prison. Except for the privileged elite.

frick em. It came out recently that Huntsville Hospital reported $40 million in Covid costs and the Feds sent them a check for $2 million. You think they did that shite to a hospital in California?

Prisons would have been more useful the past 2 years than the Covid response if we actually used them.

Instead of maintaining the underbrush and electric grid, his state funnels that money to the homeless and social programs, resulting in massive fires.

Instead of new prisons they should have just decriminalized drugs and moved on.

I wish Louisiana would build a dozen more mega-prisons and pay top dollar to fully staff them. Then get DAs who will prosecute and judges who give a shite, and fill them up. Then build more.

I guarantee you'd see a massive turnaround in this state.
