All police crime fighting activities wrack up real-world harm. For example I see an estimate that the police killed 1250 people in 2024. While most of the killings were unavoidable many were not. So it's question of costs vs benefits f

I think there is a lot to be said for public schools to be eliminated, for all schools to be private schools with the government providing vouchers. So you would have some students going to a strong STEM school, others to schools with stron

I wonder about the definition of poor health. When you have a chronic disease it may be managed adequately so you don't have a poor quality of life. So it may be that the article is just talking about chronic diseases--and not poor qua
