I don’t think the journalist even made a serious attempt at answering the question that the copy editor injected into the headline.

The people may be liberal, but the politicians are not. They like to pretend to be, but we have no left wing party in the US. We have a right wing party that's oligarch in nature, and another right wing party that theocratic in nature.

Couldn't find it in the article... Anyone have a list of states that have banned it handy?

[–] Garibaldee@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

I don't see one readily available, I know Colorado banned it off the top of my head

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penal_labor_in_the_United_States

this provides some additional context, but also not a complete list
