tvashtarkatena Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 I was chatting up one of my colleagues from Mississippi. They're trying to reform the state's "training school" system - basically, they're version of juvy. 3 fights, 3 joints, or 3 cases of truancy will land a 13 year old girl in a green jumpsuit, shackled to 4 other 13 year old girls, 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. Sometimes a little discipline is all a kid needs. Quote

j_b Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Classic fredumb move for the connoisseurs: Ga’s farm-labor crisis playing out as planned 7:22 am June 17, 2011, by Jay After enacting House Bill 87, a law designed to drive illegal immigrants out of Georgia, state officials appear shocked to discover that HB 87 is, well, driving a lot of illegal immigrants out of Georgia. It might be funny if it wasn’t so sad. Thanks to the resulting labor shortage, Georgia farmers have been forced to leave millions of dollars’ worth of blueberries, onions, melons and other crops unharvested and rotting in the fields. It has also put state officials into something of a panic at the damage they’ve done to Georgia’s largest industry. Barely a month ago, you might recall, Gov. Nathan Deal welcomed the TV cameras into his office as he proudly signed HB 87 into law. Two weeks later, with farmers howling, a scrambling Deal ordered a hasty investigation into the impact of the law he had just signed, as if all this had come as quite a surprise to him. The results of that investigation have now been released. According to survey of 230 Georgia farmers conducted by Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black, farmers expect to need more than 11,000 workers at some point over the rest of the season, a number that probably underestimates the real need, since not every farmer in the state responded to the survey. In response, Deal proposes that farmers try to hire the 2,000 unemployed criminal probationers estimated to live in southwest Georgia. Somehow, I suspect that would not be a partnership made in heaven for either party. more Quote
