america uses a lot of prison labor but that's an emergent effect of having lots of prisoners. prison labor isn't actually profitable and is mostly used to claw back a portion of the huge cost of imprisoning someone in the first place; it's why most of it just makes products necessary for other government functions there's obviously a profitable segment of the private sector that has mushroomed up out of prisons, including companies that sell security/prison administration services to the government, companies that use prison labor as part of their supply chain, bail bondsmen, etc, but these represent an appropriation of public money into private hands rather than "regular" profit generation (which obviously also requires the active intervention of the state but isn't directly drawing tax dollars out of the public pool) and are also a tiny slice of profit-making generally, which is much more heavily concentrated in stuff like military contracting. the important takeaway here is that prison labor itself is expensive and inefficient and is never going to be the first-order goal of a capitalist state, just a second- or third-order consequence of a carceral regime

Not So Fast posted:Skechers actually bothered to audit their factories and supply lines and found no evidence of forced labour, unlike Nike which just swallowed the Zenz line on forced labour without checking. Nike absolutely uses forced labor lol, them going "yeah ok sure" was them trying to hide the issue before people looked into it. I'd put it closer to Coca Cola or Nestle's slave poo poo they do e: or it was a situation where they were like "we have so much forced labor going on it's really hard to tell which is which so lets just put out a nice paper and not worry about it"

China is very good at not taking sides and just making solid deals in both countries' interests. Of course, you'll have to cut ties with a breakaway rebel province.

tbh I'm kind of curious what happens to Myanmar because as far as I can tell the US basically dropped all their aid and China has been ignoring them, as they do, so it's really just the Junta vs the People at this point, unless there's another regional power i'm unaware of funding them.

I'm really worried it's going to spiral into another Syria, it feels like both the military and the civilian protestors aren't interested in backing down. Is there any indication the various other rebel militias in Myanmar might take the protestors side? The War Nerd episode on the region indicated there's quite a few of them, but at the same time they seem as interested in liberal democracy as the military do.

They basically give the Epoch Times for free now because they pushed it so hard and then probably got a loss when Trump lost.
