As much as I appreciate a good "well actually", neither of the two mutants featured in the comic got their powers in utero.

Tech millionaire builds 99-unit tiny house neighborhood for homeless Canadians - rent is kept at 30% of income, the large majority of residents pay a maximum of $200 — including all utilities in c/goodnewseveryone@sh.itjust.works

I think it maxes at $200

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped in c/canada@lemmy.ca

The reality became clear: Ice detention isn’t just a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s a business. These facilities are privately owned and run for profit.

Companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group receive government funding based on the number of people they detain, which is why they lobby for stricter immigration policies. It’s a lucrative business: CoreCivic made over $560m from Ice contracts in a single year. In 2024, GEO Group made more than $763m from Ice contracts.
