    How about instead of building concentration camps, we build chip factories, and employ all the people we’re abusing? Then they can spend their earnings, and pay taxes, and stimulate the economy.

    Or we can lock them up, create a chip shortage, destroy otherwise viable companies, and keep our economy limping along, satisfied with the false metric of the Stock Market as a score.

      Yeah, I wouldn’t give the current admin any ideas. It’d be less of a “employ all the people” and more of a “work will set you free” type of arrangement.
