It still works out if we assume young people are just as likely as old men to be killed by police. Restricting us to young people would probably reduce the denominator of "300/19740000" enough to counteract the fact that the

In that case you have no idea how the money is spent, right? Maybe it’s an improvement, but I’m inclined to say better the devil you know.

I'm totally on board with that plan (it would be nice if there were someone I could call to check on a possibly-suicidal friend who wouldn't show up with guns drawn). Americans are four times more likely to be killed by cops than

Wealth doesn't, income does. If I buy a car and work on it to add $1000 to its value, I've increased my wealth but have not changed my income or purchasing power until I realize those gains, at which point my $1000 income is taxed

I could survive just fine off a full-time minimum wage job in my state of Michigan. That's 9.45/hour or about $1500/month. I rent a pretty nice place in a college town for $550/month (across the street from campus, middl
