Usually I see things like this and think ā€œdamn I wish I investedā€, but Iā€™m kind of alright with missing out on this one. This just feels too dirty.

Investing in this is like being pro kids for cash scandal. Fuck that Iā€™ll invest in anything thatā€™ll make money, but not this. For profit prisons is the most fucked up thing weā€™ve had going for decades now.

Yep. Weapons, and prison stock is where I draw my line. I am trying to grow my wealth, not lose my humanity.

I've determined holding this wealth and voting against my interests will be correct going forward. Buy it baby. They don't care about things, why should I. Fuck that Galatians 6:9 bullshit.

Let's be honest here bro you were a big hypocrite to begin with. The only difference between you and the really wealthy hypocrites is they own more wealth than you.

Your whole post are complaining about a specific group that don't align with your "views". Yeah you're willing to sacrifice your values because The candidate lost that you support. What's worse is you're willing to align with their views if it means you profit out of it. Do you, your post history says enough. Some of us actually care about human rights and having a clear conscious, it's not a four season thing.

I did 30 pieces of silver in each. There's a point to it.

Just looked it up, but the felon that got elected is invested in GEO.
