Is the goal of the US government to put everyone in jail?

ChatGPT tells me that 15% of the population is the absolute maximum amount you can enslave. Anything beyond that would be too hard and dangerous to manage. So while not everyone, it’s still a big number.
The current imprisonment rate in the US is 0.54%. I’m sure some people might think this number needs to get to 10%+ asap.

Why the fuck do people take ChatGPT as an authoity on fucking anything? What happened to doing proper research in your own?
You may as well have pulled 15% number out of your ass and made the same comment and it would have about the same validity.

So… I don’t get it, what’s the end goal with this massive no-win scenario? What are the people who were thrown in the gutter by the State in the first place supposed to do if they’re not allowed to be in said gutter?
To me, this sounds like the State handing out compulsory baggies of coke, then arresting everyone for possession…

To get rid of the homeless. Ideally, by shoving them out of sight. But…y’know…whatever happens happens. We certainly don’t enjoy being forced to do this!
