Inflation is chilling out, so ICE is grabbing shock gloves

Original version ·

The economy is finally taking a breather, but the folks at ICE have decided their day-to-day needs a jolt of Star Wars villainy.

So, the government says inflation is finally cooling down. Your wallet might still feel like it was put through a shredder, but apparently, the math says we are winning the war on prices.

Meanwhile, in a pivot that absolutely nobody asked for, ICE is looking to upgrade their gear. They are planning to issue electric shock gloves to their officers. Because nothing screams 'community outreach' like literally zapping people during an interaction.

It is wild that while the economy starts to behave, the enforcement side is just doubling down on sci-fi weaponry.

Seems like the only thing getting cheaper is our collective sense of civil liberties.

    Cooling inflation means nothing when rent is still sky high. Who cares about the gloves.

    This is dystopian as h***.

    At least I can afford the gas to drive away from the electric gloves, right?
    +1 jokeA valiant effort to find a silver lining in a burning dumpster, though the logic is as thin as the gas supply
