What about poor people with a moral code? Raising prices to account for shoplifting punishes the poor too.

- pm90 4y agoIt does. Im not suggesting it be the model by which we help all the poor. Better solution: invest in welfare benefits and social programs. However if the choice is between paying extra v/s throwing people in prison Im not ok with the latter.
- DevKoala 4y agoIt doesn’t add up to me. Raising prices to account for shoplifters punishes poor people the hardest and reduces social mobility; poor people cannot save. Less social mobility makes it so that only people coming from privileged backgrounds control the destiny of poor people, thus never really fixing any issue.
