There might be other levers that can be used to encourage pro-social behavior than the current one, of chaining those not on welfare to the struggle for their existence. In my own view, financial autonomy is a basic right. We should seek out other, more dignified ways to discourage people from hanging out on street corners harassing people.

- allochthon 13y agoI'm not sure. Perhaps people who are ticketed for anti-social behavior or who are picked up by the criminal justice system would need to do community service or face a gradual escalation of penalties -- not be able to own a credit card, hold a driver's license, etc.
