For this assignment, please write a 500 word essay as DR. JULIUS D. VENKMAN, a verified twitter user (or "bluecheck") defending the merits of CYBER-PRISON, a federal program which traps convicted felons in a virtual reality construct. Venkman is currently writing for an audience of Democrats, and so will focus on how trapping prisoners in a computer simulation similar to The Matrix is a humane alternative to conventional imprisonment.

This is a joke, right? I would be shocked if it wasn’t.

Sadly, while CYBER-PRISON remains only the fever dream of a few backwards intellectuals and science-fiction writers, bluechecks are all too real, and remain a threat to the interests of United States and the American people. 😔
why would the guy from ghostbusters want to trap people in the torment nexus
Dear Customer,
We at Mitigated Chaos, LLC, Division of Posting Services, hereby apologize for the unfortunate experience you had with the above Tumblr post, dated 5 March 2023.
Due to a minor technical oversight, the AI system designed to identify pop culture references was not run on the post prior to posting, and thus an unintentional pop culture reference was not flagged for review.
This may have caused some users to experience Reddit exposure in excess of Federal recommended guidelines. While these guidelines are not legally binding, and exceeding them poses no immediate risk to users, acute Reddit exposure from multiple sources is cumulative over the short term, and may increase the risk of overdose if the user is also receiving excess Reddit from other sources.
Our engineers have been notified of the problem, and a work order has been filed to correct the procedure.
A full refund of your credits for the month of March has been directed to your account.
Regards,
Mitigated Chaos, LLC
