In an April 2023 statement submitted to the U.S. Congress to explain the budget request, FBI Director Christopher Wray cited several factors that had “significantly expanded the DNA processing requirements of the FBI.” He said the FBI collected around 90,000 samples a month — “over 10 times the historical sample volume” — and expected that number to swell to about 120,000 a month, totaling about 1.5 million new DNA samples a year. The FBI declined to comment.

Friendly reminder that we imprison people at the same rate as the USSR did at the height of the Gulag system. Behind all the euphemisms, we’re living under the boot of a grotesque police state.
It’s been said before but bears repeating: 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not a handbook!
The American government is guilty of everything the accuse China of.
That’s a highly generalized take that doesn’t hold water at all. The American government sucks but they’re not operating organ farms in concentration camps targeting religions, they’re not redrawing their maps to include parts of neighboring nations like Mexico and Canada, they’re not funding North Korea as the DPRK launches missiles over South Korea and Japan, they don’t have social credit scores, they don’t systematically harass and threaten their own citizens abroad…
We can keep going if you want. And we can talk about the terrible shit America does too.
But “these two entities are both bad and therefore they do the same exact things” is fucking dumb, naive, myopic, childish, and a bunch of other pejoratives I could think of. Grow up.
America spent 30 years indiscriminantly murdering people in the Middle East.
But I guess you are such as rabid racist that all those murders mean nothing to you.
Ah yes, rather than address your inconsistent arguments, call me a racist. Clever one you are, why didn’t I think of that?
Jokes aside you can be mad all you like, you’re still wrong. We can talk about the awful shit America does and has done, but it won’t be the same as what China has done.
Enjoy your second year of community college.
What’s inconsistent about “murder is bad”?
Stop your paranoia about China for one second to realize that your government and society is built on mass murder.
Again, we can talk about the terrible shit America has done and still does. I won’t deny it. Yes murder is bad. Okay? That’s not what you’re here arguing though. You wanna try again, no sweat. I’ll listen. Will you?
“Anything bad China has done, America has too” is what you said. That is not just factually wrong, it’s childish and ignorant and above all lazy. You can’t even be arsed to be more than nominally aware of things.
I was very clear about this already, so that you want to keep arguing tells me you’re not reading my replies at all or they won’t matter anyway, you’ll just pound your fists and stomp your feet. Fine. Do that. It’s alright. Won’t help you, won’t get you any closer to a better world, but you’ll feel better for a half second. Neat yeah?
Somehow that time for “talking about America’s shit” never arrives. Those murderers who killed, murdered and raped the Middle East for 30 years are still roaming free.
You’re just a hypocrite.
Somehow? I’m not stopping you. You keep talking about something else - you keep insisting China and America do the same bad things. And I’m correcting you. That’s all.
I’m not stopping you from talking about what America has done, in fact I already told you we can talk about it. Four times I said those words, in each individual comment I wrote to you. Every time you made a choice not to and instead chose to double down on your original take, flawed and incorrect though it was. Every time you just insisted I was defending America and I never did.
So talk. You have things to say, say them. Don’t do this childish “well fine” act where you pretend I’m controlling what you can and cannot say.
By the way China never murdered and raped the middle east. Just one more example of the point isn’t it?
Call me a hypocrite, that’s fine. I never cared much what children think of me. Grow up kiddo.
The FBI would never have anything to do with the word Hoover.
I would expect nothing less to be honest, other people are doing it so they’re going to also.
