So many corporations rely on it for their precious profits. The more people in prison (especially private prisons) the better for them.

Prisoners in the US are part of a hidden workforce linked to hundreds of popular food brands
The Associated Press found goods linked to prisoners wind up in the supply chains of everything from Frosted Flakes to Coca-Cola.

In the avian world, males of the species have the more eye-catching plumage in order to court their mates. Until modernity, ruiner of all things, humans too had this dimorphic expression as a species.

Christopher Nolan should have cast Helen of Troy the way the Greeks would have: by casting the most attractive young man in the company and giving him a really fuckable porcelain mask.
