I guess it depends on how you define unemployment.

Over half of of employed people nowadays don't make enough to pay their fundamental bills and/or live paycheck to paycheck and have to take up huge debt to make it every month.

so while they technically have a "job"...is it really if it doesnt cover their bills?

classifying something as a job is extremely bullshitable.

It was the most severe recession since the Great depression lol good times /s https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_1980s_recession

Good time to buy defense contractor stock because one way to get out of serious depressions/recession is a war.

And the presidential election is next year...

The entire United States was designed for cars, commuting, freight, and trucking.

I hate it as much as you but thats the reality.

I kind of think cars should be the paramount concern.

Its a road after all

How would word get out? Just dont tell anyone.

Also on a software devs salary you could bribe so many guards and inmates you would be king of that place.

I think you shouldn't be in jail in the first place!

Drugs being illegal is batshit insane and literally keeps the cartels in business which destabilizes entire countries and kills way more people than having legal drugs.

Anyway thats a whole different conversation.

That being said theres this weird liberal trend to feel sympathy for murderers. And in my book if a person is a murderer or rapist or something, they need to be in a dungeon not a comfy prison with internet.

But for the bullshit you got in for Im glad you were able to find a good spot and make the best of the situation.

Hope you can get some sort if early release situation.

Cant wait to get my hands on this BBC!

Basic was the first language I learned so its nice to see it repackaged.

256 Megs is alot!

Modern BBC is alot bigger than what we used to have available to us in the 90s.

Just hang around all day with no rent learning and coding. Maine prison sounds pretty sweet.

Actually sounds a little like those hackers that live in pod spaces in SF.
