The reason no one in a suit cares is because most of the voting monkeys don't care because they lack the capacity to understand.

Crime goes down when police do less crime. Less police = less crime.

Given police crime When police funding is decreased by 50 percent Then police crime decreases by 50 percent

But giving poor people money is a crime, it encourages people to become/stay poor

/S

The system is fucked; people who are pro services are soft on crime, people hard on crime are soft on services.

You get a society where everything is provided and the fuckups are treated with kid gloves leaving everyone else asking if its really worth the tax hit, where the other option wants a fucked up ghetto of starving sick poor who get sent to work a life of prison labor if they steal food.

That's because our societal structure doesn't reflect reality. Here's the reality: the government is a tribe, a gang, an institution. Give Burger King guns and badges, say they dictate human behavior now, and you get the same results. You all are so caught up in this mythical "big picture", but the reality is right in front of you and under your feet. And that reality is anarchism. Nobody is coming to save you faster than someone can stab you and bounce, and if you check on your elderly neighbor who had groceries delivered a little too long ago, you'll save a life faster than any social programs. Embrace the reality that we're being picked on by these bullies we call institutions and business, check on your neighbor, pick up some litter, and punch a mofo in the mouth when you're disrespected. We've developed tools for social cohesion over billions of years far more refined than your rudimentary moral and systemic frameworks. Use them, dummy. Not you, specifically, all of humanity.

This is what's so wack about society to me. We've got a side promising to give police more money and a side promising to give poor people some money and people will literally choose the former because they don't believe the latter.
