Panama, afaik doesn’t get paid. Just gets continued invasion threats no matter how much they bend over.
El Salvador could double its GDP if they can just keep 1.75M prisoners alive. ($35B/year)
Is the US checking up on these prisoners to ensure they’re still alive? El Salvador prison reports a life expectancy of 98 years old 🤑
Don’t worry about the giant dirt mounds in the back of the prison
Exactly. Wouldn’t it be cheaper to just kill prisoners and take the money?
I’d worry as a tourist. Can El Salvador get paid for detaining anyone themselves? Isn’t it an anti-American act to go visit El Salvador as a Canadian?
I’m assuming America is only paying El Salvador for prisoners America sends to El Salvador. They don’t give a shit what El Salvador does to their own domestic prisoners, or America’s, quite frankly.
I was just in El Salvador for a month, felt safer there than most central American countries.
Bukele is basically a supervillain so I’d expect him to throw prisoners into his bitcoin-mining volcano.
Did you see the dark red stains between two of the prison’s buildings?
It’s high temperature automotive grease for sure.

You know, I bet there’d be a lot fewer pretty crimes if we were all given a 1600/mo UBI.
But then poor people would vote, which could be dangerous.
/s ?
Maybe they can just introduce a poll tax or exam to weed out the poor. /s
the blight wing hates pretty crimes
What about “oh so pretty crimes”?
“Witty crimes”? “Gay crimes”?
That are very hard on gay crimes.
So he pays more a year than any damage an immigrant could possibly do, out of taxpayer money.
Nice.
They could just give me the 20K and I’ll just stay home and play video games.
Hey now, the only ones who get to stay on self-monitored house arrest are rich people.
Panama gets mad paid, wtf you talking about?
They charge every boat that passes. That’s why Trump is threatening to invade.
Shipping volume is slower due to drought/global warming. China has proposed constructing a railway to increase shipping volume and allow bigger ships on each side of the railway. The threats to Panama are also related to making sure Panama stays as poor as possible, and their government so far is showing US subservience with nothing in return.
Subservience? Maybe in the past, but right now they’re not aligning with Trump
Panama agreed to sell Canal/Chinese ownership of ports along canal to Blackrock. They agreed to receive deportations from US. Afterwards, Trump ordered US military to draw up invasion plans on Panama. Since, Panama has made BS allegations that Hong Kong company owning ports failed to fully pay for stuff. Panama is licking the diaper harder than Columbia. Both licking harder than rest of world.
Columbia to Venezuela would be an alternate route for railway.
Less than it costs in the US, but still kind of a lot
There is a plan to deport 13M. Not all would end up in El Salvador labour camps, but there is a loss in GDP from less consumption, less work, and less housing demand. US prisons are generally $100k per inmate. The bright side is that it is all domestic GDP. El Salvador won’t buy our cars, but prison guards need F350s for some reason. Forget manufacturing, if half the people in US work on imprisoning the other half, full employment!!!, and MAGA achieved, and the white half can afford $5k iphones.
Bet they keep a running list and just stack up the payments. When Trump is gone, someone needs to confirm these people are alive/dead then cut payments along with taking the innocent out. If they are still alive of course
If you cut payments, they’ll be executed immediately, innocent or not.
Exactly, guess you’ll have to exact first.
