What are circumstances? How do we measure those? What is fair? And most importantly, how do we keep the people who are better at life from capturing those cutouts like they do in 99.9% of the times there are cutouts? You may think you can create a Byzantine set of rules to make life perfectly fair, but you'll just create a framework for someone unburdened by ethics to win, as we see basically everywhere this is tried.
- jakelazaroff 7y agoWhy do you keep speaking in generalities when I’ve given a concrete example? With flat fines for driving violations, we’ve created a framework for relatively rich people unburdened by ethics to ignore those laws. In what way is making fines proportional to one’s income less fair or more vulnerable to exploitation?
