I wouldn’t be surprised if those money orders disappear like Jimmy Hoffa.

[-] shasta@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago

I don't think I could fit Jimmy in my pocket

[-] untorquer@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Everyone is going to get a good view of the "prison industrial complex ". Wait until you hear how much commissary coffee is.

Source: I know someone navigating it now. I don't have a price list, but it is bad.

Yes. Wild to me that any working class person wants to send him money.

Lobbyists give money to politicians: I sleep

Working class person gives money to a working class icon: Real shit

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 14 points 3 months ago

Whether or not he's working class it's important on a social level to reward good behavior.

We don't know if he's rich. We know that his parents and grandparents are / were. That doesn't tell us how much he has himself or whether the family will pay for his legal expenses.

BOP? He's not a federal prisoner, why would the federal BOP be involved in anything?

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 37 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

He is.

The prosecutors charged him with terrorism and other crimes in a federal court.

NEW YORK -- UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect Luigi Mangione appeared in federal court in New York City Thursday after waiving extradition in Pennsylvania.

He faces four new federal charges, including murder, which could make him eligible for the death penalty. He is also facing multiple state charges.

Mangione, 26, appeared in front of a federal judge in New York City just before 3 p.m. after being transported from Pennsylvania.

You could have donated to a children's Hospital, which the Republicans are about to cut off all funding to with the government shutdown and again in a few months when DOGE cuts 2.5 Trillion in funding for hospitals, healthcare, research, infrastructure, etc.

Instead you're making sure some random killer gets peanut butter and crackers for the next 30 years. SMH

You know what might save more children than donating to a children's hospital? The destruction of our current healthcare insurance system. Of course you know that. You're just intentionally making a bad faith argument to distract people because you're a bootlicker and an enemy of the working class. Get the fuck out of here troglodyte.

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

So instead of tens of millions of children having necessary medical care covered, none of them will.

Great plan, hope it works out like it does in your head.

Go bitch at a billionaire to donate to the children’s hospital

I would think that the majority of that donation revenue stream is captured by the crooked health insurers.

You could say this argument about people buying alcohol or cigarettes or lottery tickets or McDonald's cheeseburgers. That money could go to better things but that's not really the point. I mean, it's their own money, they can do whatever they want with it. If it makes them happy to give it to some dude at a prison why is it any of your concern? You can feel free to give your own money to the children's hospital.

Hello there Mr. President.

[-] exploitedamerican@lemm.ee 11 points 3 months ago

Lmao. Donating to organizations and charity is a waste of money. They are just grifts that take a majority of those donations to enrich their executives and maybe 5-15% actually goes to the cause you support.

Im too poor to give either money but i would rather see it go to someone who brought awareness to the issue and inspired more class consciousness and solidarity than the wall street military industry profiteer owned democrat party ever has.
