    News Dispatch from 2032 Satire by Ian Watson, Democratic Underground
    SANDY: Look out, Todd! Here comes General Motors! Ever since GM finalized the transition to total prison labor, their stock has gone through the roof! GM Minister of Information Beverly Hays said GM is committed to giving prisoners an opportunity to learn the value of a hard day's work. Not only does GM save a bundle by paying prison wages, it's able to take advantage of the largest prison population in American history - nearly 50 million! Many prisoners are former GM employees that were laid off over the past few years and able to make a perfect transition into their new life.
