"Crime is a social issue that can be solved by giving people their basic needs."
@starlily As a counterexample: pretty sure that $FORMER_POTUS has all his basic needs met and yet he is just crimin' up a storm
@BoredomFestival So you disagree with the premise?
@starlily I think that crime would be vastly reduced if we provided people their basic needs (and even if it didn't, providing people with their basic needs is the right thing to do anyway). But "solved" is a harder problem.
@BoredomFestival There is a significant difference in crimes of survival and white collar greed. If only we prosecuted the latter as vigorously as the former...
@starlily @BoredomFestival
Please, “more vigorously” rather than “as vigorously.”
@gdinwiddie please, get lost with your unnecessary reply guy nit picking on a year old post. Muted forever.
