Good post Damian. Of course you know I like it. (shoot in some blank space between your paragraphs) it'll avoid what @dollarvigilante was teasing @larkenrose about his first post. He described @larkenrose first post as trying to read the dead sea scrolls because it had no formatting or white space.
Yours was much better than @larkenrose. Find some pause spots (kind of like taking a breath) and put a space. Let's people read a chunk, think, read another chunk, think.
Great work though. I consider you a friend and only offer that because I thing you wrote great stuff, and that's my only hopefully helpful tip. :)
Now as to the content
You left out another reason for the VICTIM LESS CRIMES such as smoking pot landing people in prison.
Prison Industrial Complex - Government subsidized slave labor. Can make inmates work on producing products and even tech jobs, and pay them $1/hr or less. People talk about shipping our jobs overseas but most people are oblivious to the fact we've also shipped a lot of our jobs into our prisons. Maybe I need to blog about that topic.
Thanks @dwinblood! I really appreciate the kind words, and I also appreciate the input and suggestions. Now I will have more formatting knowledge/advice to go off of for whatever my next post may be. Thank you! :)
And that's right, I completely missed the discussion of the Prison Industrial Complex as well, thank you so much for pointing that one out! I guess I was just so weary because I wrote this as soon as I came home from work, I just started spewing on the page.... go figures, naturally my clumsy ass is gonna miss something haha. But I digress....
Thanks again for the kind words as well as the words of wisdom man! Stay metal. \m/
I did blog about the Prison Industrial Compex after I spoke to you. I figure I had some personal insight into that due to my past, so it was worth making a blog about.
Absolutely man! I'll go check it out, I'm glad that we have so many people on here that are so like-minded. That way, if one of us misses something unintentionally in the point we try to make (take me, for example haha), then another can easily add to it in their own post, thus circulating the plethora of knowledge onto minds willing to take a look. I'll go read that post now, thanks again! \m/
It likely won't remain that way once people start flooding here. By the time they do though all of us like minded people will have accumulated steem power so it is very likely our ideas will be reaching a much wider audience than ever before, simply because we'll be voting up things like this with our steem power and it will put it in front of people who have never really thought about these things.
Four letter word...
