To some extent, yes.

But I'd argue that most of it has to do with keeping whoever the country deems as "undesirable" out of society.

This. Otherwise there wouldn't be so many drug addicts in prison. Drug addicts whom are often addicted to drugs because of shitty behavior of our society (CIA letting drug dealers sell Crack, Drug companies pushing opioids)

For profit prison is barbaric.

All prisons are bad. All prisons have some stupid capitalist exploitation in it from commissaries to pay phones. For profit prisons are worse but generally not that much worse then non-profit prisons.

My radicalizing moment was watching the Obama administration let the people who crashed the economy in 08 off the hook while simultaneously allowing the Occupy movement to be crushed. Granted I was already pretty hard left anyways since I grew up in a family of Union workers going all the back to the Coal Wars and Blair Mountain.

That is a rough legacy.

Here's some fun facts: One of my veteran friends got to skeet shoot with rocket launchers and drones, so that his higher ups could say they definitely needed all the money they spent, else their budget would shrink. He estimated something like 17 million tax dollars were spent in an hour.

This is very normal. My vet friends have had similar stories. Basically saying that had an unlimited budget so if something breaks or doesn't work, they don't have to fix most things and can just get a new one made. The military is crazy wasteful

Shouldn't you want to pay less taxes and trust yourself over the government?

It's been said here already, but the government can leverage its collective body in order to get better deals then any individual could. It's why there should be a public health care option. It's why Unions and Corporations are effective, because they can leverage their entire organization towards their aims. Ever wonder why big box stores are so much cheaper then others at times? It's because they can put in orders for thousands and get them for less money overall for each unit.

It's like going to a grocery store and buying a 5lb bag of apples for less then it would have been to buy those same apples for the same weight but loose and not bagged. Now just imagine that on a grand scale.

We have a lot of things in this country that we could actively do to make the lives of the average person easier but we simply don't because wealthy people consistently bribe (lobby) efforts to not have to have any level of control, oversight implemented on them. They use their collective action in order to influence.

A question for everyone.

I'm currently sick. I've got a head/chest cold thing going on. LOTS of post-nasal drip and just all around feeling a little rough.

When you're sick, do you just put on the brakes for your workouts and whatnot? Do you maybe try to do something a little lighter? Or do you just kinda grind through it so long as you aren't gonna like, puke your guts out or get so tired/light headed you might end up fall over?

Don't do strenuous exercise while sick. Take it easy. You don't want to be adding extra stress and exertion while your body is trying to heal.
