    MrBeast. now his cool, philanthropic facade has crumbled, but before he even created it, he made edgy “jokes” about buying Black people…

      I mean in a year or so I’m sure the US will allow people “rent” prisoners and some of them will even be locally sourced!

        Pretty sure that’s been going on for years.

          Yeah that’s the typical chain gang type labor that we’ve always allowed. But I’m pretty sure a random citizen can’t just rent a single person atm. And it’s not going to be retail or office jobs. Who wouldn’t want their own prison “secretary”.

            I think the southern cops or legislatures might have convicts doing janitorial work in their offices

            I wouldn’t be surprised to hear some chief of police might use convict labor at their house.

                Honestly it should never be anyone. Cops should get to benefit from throwing people in jail, that is a giant tempting pile of corruption.

            oh, so you can still pretend if you’ve got the right skin tone and social class. that’s pretty cool. can I, like, tell you some stuff and get you on a better timeline, or do you just live in that year forever?

                oh. huh. can I send you some stuff to try and, like, do communism with? like basic cryptographic tools that run on childrens toys nowadays, and 26 years of security vulnerabilities to do your fav brand of communism with? or do changes not persist?

          Yeah but I meant your everyday American. You’re not walking down the street seeing your local prisoner carrying some yuppie’s shopping bags.

          They’re scraping roadkill off highways and picking cotton. I’m suggesting they’ll change not only what forced labor is allowed but also how it looks.

      Like many others, I’ve always felt he was fake and so were his videos. Was not surprised when all the crap about him and his rigged contests came to light.

        Does somebody have a source for / link to the drama? I know the guy and have seen a couple of videos, but the fakeness tuned my off too.

        But my YouTube frontage was full of him and still is.
