It sounds so utterly ridiculous to have a publicly traded prison
Well you see, it introduces efficiencies because there will competition and incentives for CEOs to seek innovative, private industry knowledge and ok I’m done /s.
You missed “synergize backwards overflow” but other than that, I think you hit most of the business buzzwords.
Toss some crypto and ai in there or block chains and chain gangs and I’m sold
Oh god…you just gave me the worst idea ever. DUAL police/prison systems. With competing jails. Like two seperate police forces in every city…but whoever arrests you determines which jail you go to.
You think that’s bad?
Food in most county lockups is so bad, be use of the way it’s funded.
The Sheriff gets paid like $10/day/prisoner, and then they pay for the food.
So there’s a direct financial incentive for them to keep the jail at capacity and provide the cheapest possible meals.
‘murica the land of vested interests
Even more ridiculous when mutual funds and 401ks invest in them.
Oh it is. It absolutely is. But her, how else are you going to exploit the poors?
I’M being sarcastic, but it is the reality we live in.
That’s silly. He can only go to one prison at a time.
True, but a lot of his friends are already convicted, too.
Lots of stocks did. Everyone knew he would do things that benefit the large corpos (lower taxes, slash environmental regulation, remove labour rights). But then of course he got to claim the economy was doing good since American media thinks “stock market” = “the economy”
Yeah the guy who was going to pass permanent corporate tax cuts and temporary individual tax cuts, funded by chaining individual tax brackets so taxes go up for individuals after 10 years, won. That’s great for corporate profits. And great for the 10% who own 90% of stocks.
It’s horrible tax policy and detrimental to the majority of Americans but it absolutely should make stocks increase.
The actual reason why is that everyone was expecting Hillary to win and she had vowed to “end private prisons.”
So everyone was calculating in a 90% or whatever chance Hillary wins, with some percentage chance she actually fulfilled her promise. Instead they got a 100% chance they would stay around for 4 years and probably get a tax cut. Pretty big adjustment is appropriate.
(Also old 2016 articles about Hillary are so quaint. They even mention Obama closing Guantanamo lmao)
It was because Clinton was going to maintain Obama’s measures dismantling them and add on to them.
But board meetings and emails.
Wonder if they spiked after the recent debate as well
I checked they went up by 6%
If I had fewer scruples, I’d find out who the construction contracts for new prisons go to and invest all in. This guy is gonna get in and imprison a whole lot of people. Like a lot a lot.
Private prison stocks are a solid investment in the US specifically.
Hell, our judges sell people to the prison system.
