Why would inequality be the issue?
If 1% of the population suddenly got personal space-ships (hugely increasing inequality) would that make people steal from trains more?
- noelwelsh 3y agoIt's an issue because humans are humans. E.g. "The link between economic inequality and both property crime and violent crime is well established" https://equalitytrust.org.uk/crime https://equalitytrust.org.uk/crime
- lupusreal 3y agoThat's a nice theory, except most people don't turn petty thief just because billionaires exist. These thieves aren't class warfare warriors, no matter how much you wish it. They're greedy degenerates who don't care about others. Being an asshole isn't the exclusive domain of the rich.
