Joe Biden Will Sign Four Executive Orders on Racial Equity--Here's What They Do

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Joe Biden will sign four more executive orders Tuesday targeting racial equity issues, as he continues to push his agenda during his first week in office through executive actions.

"We're treating racial equity as a set of values and tools," a senior administration official told Newsweek and other reporters in a preview of the orders Biden will sign later in the afternoon. "That's never been done before."

Shortly after being sworn into office last Wednesday, Biden fired off more than two dozen executive directives—many of them aimed at addressing the coronavirus pandemic or undoing actions that his predecessor, Donald Trump, had taken in office.

"Building a more equitable economy is essential if Americans are going to compete and thrive," Biden's Domestic Policy Council director Susan Rice told reporters Tuesday during a press briefing.

1. This is definitely a first:

"Federal agencies will regularly engage in consultation with tribal governments, with an eye on advancing racial justice for Native American communities."

2. How does eliminating DOJ contracting with private prisons reduce mass incarceration?

3. Profitized prisons won't let prisoners out for good behavior or rehabilitation because they

are paid by the prisoner. Everyone they keep in custody, they make money off of....LOTS of money. So we have people in prison who have been rehabilitated, but can't get out because they're a cash cow for some stockholder.

Plus, the government is who pays the corporations to keep the prisoners in there longer than they should be. Plus, the prisons don't feed them appropriately, because they make money by saving on food. So our government is paying to keep prisoners in prison that shouldn't be there, PLUS a profit for the corporations that won't let them out.

The profitized prisons have also been known to start fights with a prisoner just as he's about to get out, so that they can re-charge him for something and keep making money on him even longer. It's a terrible and inhumane racket, and costs a huge amount of tax dollars to pay CEO's.

Profitized prisons won't let prisoners out for good behavior or rehabilitation because they are paid by the prisoner.

Every prison makes money. Prisons also aren't the ones who decide whether to let incarcerated people go.

Everyone they keep in custody, they make money off of....LOTS of money. So we have people in prison who have been rehabilitated, but can't get out because they're a cash cow for some stockholder.

State-owned prisons make money off incarcerated people as well, and have the same profit motive.

Plus, the prisons don't feed them appropriately, because they make money by saving on food.

No prison feeds incarcerated people appropriately.

So our government is paying to keep prisoners in prison that shouldn't be there, PLUS a profit for the corporations that won't let them out.

State and local prisons do this as well, trading incarcerated people in order to keep state money flowing.

The profitized prisons have also been known to start fights with a prisoner just as he's about to get out, so that they can re-charge him for something and keep making money on him even longer.

State prisons do this as well.

5. Then prisons need to be reformed across the board. State. Federal. all of it.
