Sturgis Rally® brings human trafficking, enrichment to medical industry monopoly

Suicide by violent means is epidemic especially in red states like South Dakota and Wyoming so Republicans just go pffft when bikers die during the Sturgis Rally. But, hypocrisy reigns supreme at the highest levels of power in South Dakota so residents endure another Rally where this year half a million attendees will spend an average of a thousand dollars each so the sitting governor can crow about his leadership and self-reliance while moral hazards pay the bills. 

Hotels, motels and campgrounds in the Hills jack up their rates and fill to capacity so a murder of fat, white Republican crows can swill alcohol, stuff their faces, buy Trump t-shirts and children for sex then kill themselves and each other with reckless abandon.

While the 85th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is a time for friends to get together and ride their motorcycles, it’s unfortunately also a hot spot for human trafficking. Last year at the rally, 7 men were arrested for their crimes against minors. [KELO teevee]

The good news? Sure, bikers are just tools of the state but hospitals, bars and mortuaries cut a fat hog during the annual orgy and so does the law enforcement industry that hopes to seize hundreds of thousands through civil asset forfeiture and selective interdiction.

Monument Health’s business continuity coordinator, Dustin Calhoun, who works with federal and state agencies and first responders during the rally to help prepare the hospital, said they’re always on the lookout for challenges including rider safety and drugs that come into the area. [KOTA teevee]
