A daily theft of $84 per day has much more than $84/day of cost in terms of corrosion of social trust. A government payout cannot fix that - heck it makes it worse.
- lostlogin 7y agoDoesn’t that strengthen causality1’s argument? You could give the their their $84 and it would be a straight win if they stopped thieving.
- fche 7y agoThat is a big "if", of course. And I thought the initial idea was to have the gov't pay the losses of the victims of thefts, without incarcerating the thieves. As though that would eliminate the victimization.
- DrScump 7y agoFor a property thief to net $84 would require taking $400+ worth of property and creating as much worth of damage in the process.
