  • Thats flat out wrong.

    They don’t want to replace them entirely. But just maybe move funding to services to help those having mental health issues rather than paying to train cops to shoot the first time they’re scared then send them in to deal either erratic people having mental health issues will lead to better outcomes for everyone.

    When cities can’t afford services to help people, because policing is taking up a massive portion of their budget, then it’s a broken system that needs correction.



  • If we want to fix the bad stuff corporations are doing, simply put a larger cost on those things. It’s that simple. Pollution, Safety, Health, whatever… price the negative externalities (economic speak for bad things humans don’t want) properly and the market will sort itself out.

    The part where it goes right off the rails however, it seems now that its cheaper to buy and own the politicians, and buy and own the media to manufacture consent to kill these regulations than it is to operate responsibly. Which seems to be right around where we are now.
