In my opinion these problems are very small compared to the root problem, and so they show that the system is working - they are exceptions that prove the rule.
But we can easily improve this first iteration, for example:
1. Let's instead give everyone an untested basic income that covers usual living expenses.
2. Let's give people who are unable to buy firewood better {financial,medical,mental health,educational} support to buy what they need instead of waiting for them demolish something more valuable.

- learnstats2 11y agoFrom Wikipedia: "the presence of an exception applying to a specific case establishes that a general rule exists." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exception_that_proves_the_rule https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exception_that_proves_the_rule The fact that the parent is complaining about a small number of exceptional cases proves that the system works well in the general case.
