Valid conclusion, thanks.
That said, the post comes off as more OMGtiktik! Posting rather than “how to grow the fediverse in a post tiktok world”
My frustration comes from the firehouse of inconclusive, unproductive rubbernecking on the wriggling of corporate social media, which is all a program for data extraction, regardless of the extractor.
The state of prison labor is a disgrace. That said, the incarcerated firefighters I worked with in 2010to 2019 anecdotally wanted to be there, and specifically elected for the role.
It is my understanding that prisoners can be compelled to do labor, but cannot be forced to accept a hazard position.
Again anecdotally, everyone I chatted with saw the fire crew as a way out: (out of the cell for x days per year, out of the system by building skills, etc).
What I will acknowledge is that it is a dangerous role and they are not compensated sufficiently/ fairly, but many non incarcerated firefighters are paid comically poorly too.
I also anecdotally acknowledge that most assignments are NOT as dangerous/ long running, and in my experience incarcerated crews got mop-up/more routine assignments. The current increased danger may exacerbate their displeasure with this conditions.
I am not condoning anyone being in harms way against their will, and if these folks want out, they should be provided safe transport back to the jail without delay.
Wish people quit posting this shit, who cares. We are on the fediverse
I’m sure they all voted for the most effective/competitive means a of avoiding him. If so, party on.
Do not bring air bud into this
“fear is the pie killer”
In my opinion/experience, agree. As long as they can say “I’ve had enough, I want out, back to my cell”
