Not really, the process responded to changes to the environment. If he movie makers ahd heir way, he Bradley wouldn't have incorporated any of the design lessons from the BMP, which had its combat debut in the Yom Kippur War, which naturally caused project upsets in the Bradley development project...

I got an idea for a grift but I need someone to tell me if the science is possible: unvaccination pills so anti-vax idiots can take them instead of condemning their kids to death by preventable diseases.

Ehh I've read a lot of crazy people writing and I think you kinda have to have the right, like, touch to sell them poo poo, like if it doesn't make enough dumb schizophrenic kinda-sense they can smell it.

Which reminds me, the other day I was reading some article that claimed that Henry Kissinger needs to show up in person to the White Dragon Society soon to prove to them he's not a hologram generated by an AI, so he better get on that.

You dummies you need to sell it as a herbal vaccine removal tea from the foothills of the Himalayas. Just make sure you put a dash of the pink salt from the region in the water you boil to activate the anti oxident properties of the herbal blend.

No no the boiling increases the vibrational energy, because Albert Einstein said everything in the world is made of energy and vibrations. That's why when you freeze boiled water it freezes clear, because you've cleared the water's chakras by raising its vibrational energies to a higher plane, much like how science has proven that telling water nice things and filling it with positive intentions makes it freeze into prettier ice crystals.

The main cause of female incarceration is poverty. It predominantly concerns young, poor, single mothers with low levels of education and income. Being behind bars for years without an opportunity to earn an income pushes them even further down the ranks of society.

With new skills and fair wages they can learn to support themselves, send their children to school, save up for a crime-free future and ultimately break with the cycle of poverty.

We have created Carcel to have a positive impact on the world through fair wages for women in prison by using only the best materials and making quality designs that you can keep wearing again and again - and again.

Carcel has production teams in Cusco and Chiang Mai, where its cosy knitwear and silk bags are fabricated. “I think it feels like an idealistic idea in a way – to want to change something for the better – but it is also very pragmatic, because it’s tapping into a resource,” says D’Souza.

Ya I've seen a bunch of formerly radical people go into "socially responsible" business. They've ended up becoming more evangelical capitalists than most because of the idea that you "just need to do it ethically" and then you can buy into all those emancipatory ideals of the neoliberal development model.

Van Hauen and D’Souza met while living and working in Kenya—the former as a creative manager at a leather bag company and the latter heading a social startup that made, and distributed, menstrual cups for women throughout the country. “Because of the nature of the work I was doing, I was spending time in a lot of the slums in Kenya,” D’Souza explains. “I started to become curious about the prison system and the incarcerated women in particular.” She visited and toured the women’s prison in Nairobi, including the prison shop that sold items made by the inmates. “It felt like a waste of resources,” she says.

quote:

Quality, in fact, is a key ingredient to Carcel’s progressive business model. Van Hauen, who also spent time working in production at Louis Vuitton, understood that in order to make the business profitable and therefore successful in aiding the inmates, the clothes had to stand up to fashion’s very high standards (even in the sustainability market). “The women in Peru have a feel for design, and that coupled with the materials makes everything more elevated,” she says. “You need to be able to reach people who care about fashion and won’t disregard you as some kind of a hippie brand.” Carcel’s aesthetic is certainly on point, from the sleek, minimal design details of the knitwear to the sharp, modern marketing campaign.

Setting aside the fact that prison is fundamentally unjust, any halfway decent prison will have some sort of education/work skills training scheme. The problem is the white saviour mentality not the fact that the women are in prison. They're just providing these women a fairly basic opportunity that should be available to them anyway, and making a huge profit on their backs. So like, it's not some ethical miracle, but nor is it any more or less exploitative than any other labour and I guess they should be commended for paying a decent wage and sharing a little bit more of their profits than they need to?
