The world currently has some serious problems that aren't going to be fixed by punishing people hardest hit by that fact. White collar criminals often hurt more people and to a greater degree and tend to be coddled in comparison. There is an element of classism here to which I object. I'm well aware some people just like hurting others and will do so on any excuse. I did say "and/or" and every single reply here sounds like no one heard that, as if I started my comment with something like "You meanie face! Instead of punishing people who are clearly victims of the system, we should help them!" That framing doesn't exist and I think it's a waste of my time to continue to engage people who seem to be misreading my initial comment. Thank you for the pedantic note. I didn't previously know that. (It doesn't impact my point, for the record.)
