borp_borp··on Investigation finds inmates built computers and hid them in prison ceiling
Kind of shitty that they immediately used the computers to fuck people over...

  The Ohio Inspector General says investigators found 
  an inmate used the computers to steal the identity 
  of another inmate, and then submit credit card 
  applications, and commit tax fraud. 

  One inmate, Adam Johnston, reportedly admitted to 
  applying for the credit cards, saying he just looked 
  through the ODRC system for a young inmate with a long 
  sentence, then used his information to get the cards.
You'd hope that, provided access to something rare, the use would be benign and reasonable.

  Mexico is a proxy war between US factions.

Amazing the the parent gets flagged, but this slips through. WTF are you even talking about, dude?

Puritans at war with... drug people? And you take issues with the post you replied to? Pot is calling kettle black right there. This is some colossal conflation.

Drugs do harm. It's not about tee-totalling nerds obsessing over out-dated sensibilities. The money that gets flushed on drugs is incidental to habitual use, and not a concerted effort to rebel against repressed, sheltered squares.

If much of the money heads south from two predominant channels originating in the U.S. this does not preclude foreign actors further fomenting violence, by fanning the flames for their own reasons.

You can rail against that idea, but then your own concept would be pathetically invalid, all the same.
