       Buddy I work with just got out of 84 days served because it was that or pay some fines caused by an illegal traffic stop; paying the fines would've put his wife on the street.If anyone in #ChapelHill knows of some work needs done, he's a good handyman, does basic lawn stuff, indoor paints well and even does some sheetrock stuff.

       To make this clear for the yuppies:Someone I work with was illegally pulled over because he was black and given a bunch of bogus fines. Also punched while in cuffs. The judge gave him a choice, pay the fines, or go to jail. Paying the fines would've taken money that was needed to pay his wife's rent, so he CHOSE to go to jail for nearly 3 months - and the agreement was for 4.If you DM me I'll forward any donation you give to https://emsenn.net/support/ for him. 1/n

       Can y'all even imagine having such limited means that 3 months in a cage is more profitable than 3 months of freedom?Capitalists talk about the opportunity cost of investment. This is what an economy driven by such thinking facilitates.I hear folk talk about the missed opportunity cost of flipping a condo and it makes me sick: that is disgusting conduct in a society as unjust as ours.2/2
