How about instead of spending trillions of dollars we don't have on UBI we actually do something that will make a difference:
1. End the war on drugs
2. Fire bad cops
3. End Qualified Immunity
4. End Civil Asset Forfeiture
5. Collect stats on every-time police force is used
- mcny 6y agoIt isn’t an either or. We can do both. That being said, I think firing bad cops isn’t enough. There must be criminal charges and convictions. Personally, I’m amazed that we don’t keep publicly accessible logs of every time a police patrol car turns its lights and/or sirens on. Firing bad cops should be swift and purposeful. I think any police officer who leaves their reflective vest on the dashboard of a private car or otherwise signals that the car belongs to a police officer, should be fired immediately with no pension. I don’t think we can do that today because the police unions are just too powerful.
