I get the feeling that drinking yourself nearly to death every night was the only way to deal with the crushing horror of your existance in those days. Children in mines and daily worker demise. Strike breakers and Pinkertons. gently caress that.

I thought people drank more during Prohibition. What with the stress of having to organize crime and murder people to get that booze.

So yeah, based on his history of consistent rational behavior we're looking at Prohibition 3.0 any day now.

Let's be honest, any jailbreak this group tried to stage would be the comically incompetent one you could imagine. Like "we get a video tape of a guard playing yakkity sax on his phone because this poo poo is just too surreal"

Their method was nothing but white men doing whatever the gently caress they wanted, like defiling Native American artefacts.

It’s like “Hitler would be a swell dude if he didn’t commit genocide and invade other countries and also was better at painting”. At that point he’s not Hitler.
