Cruelty at convicts
vendredi 19 mai 2023 à 00:32Democrats and Republicans are now competing for who can direct the most cruelty at convicts.
That is not very effective for reducing crime. What succeeded in the 1990s was partly the elimination from lead from gasoline in the late 70s, and partly an increase in income on the average for poor people in the 90s, which helped them get by without crime.
We can't get rid of any more lead from gasoline, because none remains in gasoline, but we might be able to make life easier for poor people by electing more progressive Democrats.
