Can't keep libraries open on Sundays. But cool, we can build massive jails.
Actually, the jail will save money, because we're going to use it to generate bitcoins.
At rest, the human body generates an average of 100 watts of output. During sports activities, it reaches 300 to 400 watts
Okay. So we have a thousand inmates, and let’s say we can keep them moderately physically active half the time (may need to swap out inmates as they die of exhaustion). Obviously they will be producing value with their slave labor but that is irrelevant. So that’s
1000x200=200,000W or 200kW
200x24=4800kWh produced per day
I’m finding varying data on the kWh needed to mine a Bitcoin, but it seems like 250,000 is semi accurate.
4800/250,000=0.0192
So we are getting 0.0192 Bitcoin per day (BTC/d), which means with the proper equipment hooked up to these prisoners we can generate about $1300 worth per day. Obviously this value will fluctuate, but if we time our sales correctly we can make it worth even more.
You just take the people who would be served by the libraries—especially poor and homeless people—and you "serve" them with the jail instead. Problem Solved™.
Lmao you're gonna have to look at the torture tower and monument to pain filled with jailed homeless people from everywhere in the city.
This is going to be extremely positive to the mental health of everyone that has to see it every day.
Exactly what I was thinking.
dredd irl
We need warring prison towers and judges on cybercycles
damn, world jail center
imagine looking at your city skyline and theres literally a huge vertical concentration camp in there
i wonder if at that point libs will notice something is wrong
They'll notice something is wrong when they can no longer afford food and not a moment sooner.
Communist architecture is depressing because there are a dozen apartment blocks. This is more liberating because we can block the sunlight with people’s misery
"I wish they would build more dense infrastructure"
*monkey's paw curls*
Think this might be fake or an april fool's day thing. NYC real estate is way too expensive for this to make sense lol
Yeah the more I think about this the less it makes sense. Why not just bush them upstate?
Why do that when you can build a monument of human misery in the middle of the city to keep the proles in check.
It's real

In response to my other comment: someone on the TrueAnon sub pointed out Miami has a similar structure, albeit shorter.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
NYT: Anger in Chinatown Over a Huge Jail Project: the demolition of a Manhattan jail complex to make way for a bigger one has damaged a neighboring building and raised concerns about years of dust and disruption.
Chinatown has been a repository for unpopular civic projects since at least the 19th century, when the original jail complex was built there. ... “The city has this conflict between promoting Chinatown as this important, authentic place, but at the same time doing everything it can to make it as hard as possible for local businesses,” she said. “We are the dumping ground."
Local residents and businesses say they’re suffering through its prelude: a noisy, dusty and earthshaking demolition to lay the groundwork for the jail, in a neighborhood still reeling from the pandemic. ... Since demolition began last spring, large cracks have formed along the wall of a neighboring senior center, where residents shut their windows to block out dust. Longtime businesses have warned that they may have to close because of reduced foot traffic or costly renovations. A pediatric health center has already moved, citing constant noise and ceiling leaks.
An appellate court decision allowed the project to proceed, and reaffirmed, for some, that Chinatown would once again shoulder the burden of a disruptive civic construction project, while businesses were still recovering from pandemic closures and anti-Asian sentiment.
Roughly a third of the people living near the site are 65 or older, in a neighborhood where 60 percent of residents are Asian. ... Judith Zelikoff, a toxicologist who wrote in affidavit in support of the 2020 lawsuit than an environmental review of the jail site was inadequate, says older residents ... "are disproportionately vulnerable to health risks" [from harmful matter that can be released in demolition.] The dust “sticks on your skin," said Edward Cuccia. "You get an itchy feeling. It’s grainy and gross.”
William Bialosky, an architect who lives near the site, said that excavation work for the new jail tower could be risky, because the site sits on top of a former pond that would have to be drained. That process could shift the soil beneath nearby buildings, he said, including old tenements that could be damaged or even torn down. "You could get to a spot where a building becomes so expensive to restore that it’s cheaper to demolish"
Chicago has had one of these for years. NYC #2 as usual
The cells were originally designed to feel as comfortable as possible, based on sailboat cabins, with built-in hardwood beds and desks. Most of these features have since been removed.[4]
the cruelty is the point
transcript from 99% invisible with details
Roman Mars: The architects in Harry Weese’s group were tickled by the prospect as well.
Dan Weissman: Jack Hartray, who worked on the building, said-
I think everybody in the office figured that you had a certain number of unindicted criminals in the city and then you had some that had gotten caught.
Dan Weissman: And the MCC was just for the people who happened to have gotten caught.
Roman Mars: And because the architects took it seriously that the inmates were innocent until proven guilty, they thought-
Dan Weissman: Let’s make this as nice as we can! You know, somebody already looked at this problem: how do you make a really small space cozy?
Jack Hartray: Harry sort of viewed this from the standpoint of the accommodations on sailor boats. The furniture was all built-in, so you could really do pretty nice furniture.
Dan Weissman: Built-in, hardwood furniture has these really clean lines. The bed, there’s a desk. I’ve seen this picture, it’s really, you know, it’s nice.
Jack Hartray: We built rooms to scale in our office and my children used to come down and take naps. They loved the interior space. It was, you know, kind of intimate and pleasant.
Dan Weissman: It was cozy.
Jack Hartray: Yeah.
Roman Mars: And those narrow, slit windows I mentioned earlier? Those are floor-to-ceiling windows, to let in as much light as possible. But they’re also built just narrow enough, at five inches, so that they were within the federal guidelines of the time to not need bars.
Dan Weissman: Sounds really nice.
Jack Hartray: Oh, it is nice! It’s not a bad place to stay.
Dan Weissman: I saw an interview with Harry Weese where he said that what he had in mind was like a hotel.
Jack Hartray: Well, we were doing a hotel at the same time and this was better than the hotel, as far as the built-in furniture and all that.
Roman Mars: Phil Carrigan has been going to the MCC for over ten years.
Dan Weissman: He is kind of the designated volunteer for the MCC, and he goes and visits guys who don’t have anyone else to visit them.
Phil Carrigan: MCC is not a star. It’s very drab. Gunmetal gray. You know, the physical facility is nothing to show off.
Dan Weissman: The cells, the architect described them as being very nice, with all this kind of hardwood, built-in furniture, for instance.
Phil Carrigan: They’re gone. The bunks are steel, two-tier structures. No wood.
Dan Weissman: And do you have sunlight coming in?
Phil Carrigan: No. The windows are frosted. Doesn’t allow for sunlight to come in. And you know, the place is old. It’s definitely undergone some changes, but none of them have been for beautification.
i hate how they made it look modern and trendy 🤮
Oakland's kinda towers over everything around it too, though it's relatively small compared to those.
Ok NIMBYism, you can come in and be concerned about the neighborhood character now...
1.000? How the fuck do you fit so few people into that much space?
They can't leave. So everything you'd go/do from your place is compacted into there. Plus all the ravenous
you need to run a "correctional facility" like that.I understand what needs to be in a prison. It just seems to me that 1.000 inmates is a laughably small number for such a large building.
Only the worst parts, without cool tech.
Finally we have built the
Torment NexusPlatform from hit movie The PlatformLol this was the first thing to came to mind
is this the place Kurt Russel lands his hilarious little plane on?
Technically, it is a sky scraper prison, so yes.
pog, reality is so awesome
Why is Israel in quotes?
Not a real country
👍
That sounds very safe in case of a fire. Not like fires have been a problem in high-rise buildings where people can leave if they want to, much less prisons.
That is never going to happen as long as housing had the value it has
There's something like this in downtown Miami which also doesn't exactly have cheap real estate
Incredible, literally
So this is the "dense urban public housing" we get under capitalism 😐
They just saw this movie and really want to try it out: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8228288/
@SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net disclaimer I understand the actual point of this post, which is that they are dystopian vibes and you're correct I feel it too. OK OP don't take this the wrong way, but I'm addressing this to sex under Socialism because this is a good example of what I was talking about earlier. Obviously you are feeling the heat you hate what's happening to people in Gaza there's no question that your auntie Zionist, however, this is an example I can .2 of somebody taking the 972 article at face value about AI being used to kill people in Gaza it's not it's just a fig leaf it's exactly like the software they used to "" link match people they're just destroying large population centers they don't actually know what's going on with Hamas. They're intel supremacy was based off of having a few monopolies granted them with back doors, and other stuff by US loyal chip companies , and also because they are firmly established in the United States, global intelligence and communications industry
apologies for any dictation errors I missed. I'm walking around.
I'm not sure I understand why you had to tag me for this. For some reason you seem to not like it when people as much as suggest (even when it's said ironically) that the enemy is the slightest bit of competent or effective at anything, even when they aren't actually saying that at all. I fail to see how any of this even matters in the context of this post.
To explain why I am not satisfied with mere words saying you support the Palestinians while your words undermine their narrative, supporting instead the narrative of Western rights organizations who focus purely on the moral outrage of what happens when Zionists succeed.
You seem to think all we need to do is pat each other on the back for being horrified at what Zionists are doing, without being critical.
Not sure why you think that just repeating everything 972mag says verbatim is the most based epic noided hot take and you're the only people who listen to resistance sources and that I am "insulted by people who ascribe competency to zionists" like what "RyanGosling" is saying
Cool pepe reactionary name (i am on 500 layers or irony your post was that shit now deal with it) and dismissive comment about "Hamas" then running off by the way, @RyanGosling@hexbear.net I was also thinking about Abdul-Malik al-Houthi's comments regarding Westoids painting Hamas as acting alone completely isolated with Hezbollah and Ansar Allah and Quds force etc weak and laying on the sidelines. Speculating about how Jordanians and Egyptians would serve as a UN peacekeeping force (oh please, like the Nigerians were going to serve as an ECOWAS intervention force against Niger right? just admit you think a better world is impossible if you're going to say shit like that). So thanks for reminding me of that with your dismissive and smug comment implying anyone who doesn't believe the competency Zionists ascribe themselves, General Butt Naked style is making a huge mistake. You forgot the second half of "imperialists are to be taken as tactically competent but strategically incompetent" and attack me for discussing strategy.
Not sure whether I'd prefer you with your 500 Trump emotes, burning Russia flag emote but no burning Zionist flag emote, no Soleimani emote (but check this out
spongebob and spiderman, your real heroes, just like Iranians said), or Jackson Hinkle, who claimed "october 7 was a false flag just like george floyd false flagged america, hamas false flagged the world"He claims to be pro palestinian vibes too, and pro "zionist competency", should i listen to him too and his narrative-over-reality online reality show character act? Should I listen to you on FOSS Reddit (with no link embeds now even) for vegans? (You'd better be Brazilian or Indian 😆 https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/countries-with-the-highest-rates-of-vegetarianism.html)
Zionists are not intimidated by being told they are evil filth, that they were written up in a court in a symbolic act. Zionists are intimidated by the reminder their state is collapsing, is on the verge of losing its chance at normalization with Saudis, becoming a global pariah. They love people watching their Telegram videos and arguing about whether the IDF took them (I'm sure you two are not contentious with me about that). They think they are going to get away with this forever like the einsatzgruppen. The high has not worn off but it's starting to get unpleasant.
Okay, well if you don't care about details versus vibes and are insulted by specifying the former there's nothing to discuss
@SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net sorry, I actually don't know if editing a mention after it was initially broken pings people so sorry sorry if I'm picking you twice here but my point is there are articles which are directed at people with a sense of moral outrage about what's happening in Gaza that are still doing their best to portray the Israeli is being as effective and competent as possible.
I feel like pointing out an example is the only way to clarify what I was trying to say before but maybe it'll just be more confusing in that case. Whoops.
I was going through one of the books about how they're using Gaza a laboratory, and it honestly seemed like somebody had gone through and edited it to insert a bunch of stuff about Boyer genocide which is just a white genocide style myth made up by an evangelical as I'm sure you all know that kind of stuff is really made my hair stand on end and I can't stop looking around for hasbara trying to infiltrate our minds
Hamas dismisses the undermining of Israel’s ‘competence.’ Whether they are or not is irrelevant. You always treat the enemy as tactically intelligent and respond accordingly otherwise you risk falling for hubris like them. When the empire stumbles, you strike its feet, not sit there and hope it stays down. As funny as it is
