I'm all for bringing back the gulag, but "creature comforts" make up only a tiny percentage of the overall cost. And even if we sanitize the costs with a generic "a pile of money" summary, it doesn't change the slap in the face in the slightest.

For my part, I find nooses to be extremely cost effective, but I'm actually trying to avoid the whole "every life should be treasured" fuzzy hoodoo as related to the death penalty in this conversation and trying to consistently apply that leftie logic to the actual victims here. It just doesn't hold up.
