What should we do about actions that aren't malicious, but are nevertheless harmful or put others at risk? Littering, mild traffic violations, etc.

- Lammy 6y agoWe should enrich everybody. All of those examples are symptoms of people short on time, which in our society is usually synonymous with short on money. I don't think many people would choose to drive recklessly while eating and tossing their trash out the window. That's something I'd expect from a person who has to be at work at EARLY:00 on-the-dot, maybe working multiple jobs, but generally just trying to survive another day.
- bawolff 6y agoThat sounds rediculous. Plenty of rich people are assholes too. If anything, i think the sterotype would be entitled rich (or at least not poor) people who think the rules don't apply to them are more likely to commit "low-level" offenses.

- aoeusnth1 6y agoI have millionaire asshole neighbors who drive their firraris at 50mph through my 15mph street. Their kids leave their litter on the street where they drink & do drugs. Not being an asshole does not take effort, it takes basic respect.
- Lammy 6y ago> it takes basic respect I totally agree! But I also try to give it if I hope to receive it since there is no One Society that doesn't also include the asshole millionaires :)
