I think every bullfight should start with a coin flip and if the matador loses he comes out first, the picadors stab him a bunch of times until he's staggering from fatigue and blood loss, and then the bull comes out with a sword duct taped to its head.

Unfortunately you have to travel to Florida to do your duty as a citizen of this planet.

Sometimes though, we all have to take one for the team.

Wouldn't it be more efficient just to strap him to the back of a truck and drive him around? Like you get a notice in your mail that says your neighborhood's scheduled Zimmerman day is next Tuesday, and you take the day off and they bring him by. Maybe even a block party sorta thing. You could have a dunk tank sort of thing set up but instead of throwing balls at some target that would dump him in the water you just huck hardballs at Zimmerman until you knock him out.

http://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/trump-s-presidential-campaign-has-crushed-traffic-his-hotels-casinos-n623081

quote:

Since Donald Trump announced his candidacy in June 2015, foot traffic to Trump-branded hotels, casinos and golf courses in the U.S. has been down, according to extensive data analyzed by location intelligence company Foursquare.

In July, Trump properties' share of visits fell 14 percent year over year.

There has been an interesting arc over the last year. Before Trump announced his presidential bid, foot traffic to his properties was steady year-over-year — and maybe even saw a small uptick. After he entered the race, his branded properties failed to get their usual summertime traffic gains. In August 2015, the share of people coming to all Trump-branded properties was down 17 percent from the year before.

These losses stabilized to single digits for a number of months, but as primary voting season hit full swing in March 2016, share losses grew again. Trump properties did not get their usual springtime bounce of travelers and locals. March share was down 17 percent once more.

...

Breaking out Blue States, the loss in foot traffic runs deeper than the national average. For the past five months, Trump's blue state properties — spread between New York, New Jersey, Illinois, and Hawaii — have taken a real dip, with diminishing visits starting in March and a widening gap that continues straight through July, when share fell 20 percent versus July 2015.

Trump properties have seen a double-digit decrease in visits from women this year, with a gap that widened starting in March 2016. (The one anomaly was February, for unclear reasons.) In July, visit share among women to Blue State properties was down 29 percent. This seems to reflect the gender division in the polls among American women.

When Heroes was airing, I saw an interview with Tim Kring where he said something like "yeah, coming up we're going to introduce so many new heroes! That's what everyone wants to see -- more cool heroes! So we're coming up with all these crazy new powers and you just can't wait to see them!"

Actually, of course, what people wanted was to see fewer drat people with superpowers, and to have the show focus on the four or five characters everyone liked (Sylar, Hiro, horn-rimmed-glasses guy) and flesh them out more.

Actually what I wanted was for them to kill off almost everybody, including Tim Kring.

I can see the financial logic from a state's perspective, but "hey let's create private companies that have a financial interest in keeping as many people in jail as possible, in a nation where corporate money is allowed to have massive influence on the political decision-making process" never sounded like a great idea to me.

e: And then you also get stuff like this, where local economies become dependent on the prisons, meaning that the economy goes to poo poo when not enough people go to jail. It just creates incentives that are batshit insane.

Private vs. not-private prisons is entirely orthogonal to that. One of the chief opponents of marijuana legalization in California was the prison guard union...because they had a financial interest in keeping as many people in jail as possible. The prison guard union also was a huge supporter of California's three-strikes legislation that wound up vastly increasing the prison population. And it funded opposition to Proposition 5, which was a diversion program to keep non-violent drug offenders out of prison. Private prisons might be a stupid idea, but it's an issue that's not as important as huge incarceration rates and the laws that make purely consensual activities illegal in the first place.

Yeah so you're saying it doesn't matter at all that we've created massive corporate entities with a financial interest in keeping people in jail because we also have massive non-corporate interests that do the same? Brilliant.

e: I mean I take the point that that poo poo's not going away automatically if we get rid of private prisons tomorrow, but if you think they're not part of the problem you're out of your goddamn mind.
