Of course, there will never be enough boats for everyone—but, hey, that’s why we have our sprawling prison system, which we’re no longer even trying to shrink or reform. That’s why we have our police forces, legislatively defund-proofed, expanding into every school, and our newly fused state-immigration police, which can use all the tools of the criminal code to terrorize our unauthorized working class. It’s not, after all, that we aren’t willing to invest in a certain genre of “solution.”
