      Preach. Harsh penalties with no rehabilitation and an uncaring system with no safety net?

      If you can’t get a job and can’t eat without a job, who wouldn’t do crime?

        And in so doing, they have a criminal record that makes it harder to get jobs, leading to a vicious cycle where they’re not employed due to a criminal record/recent imprisonment, and are forced to steal to survive, leading to another criminal record, etc.

      No, most crime is due to a personal failure. Play stupid games - win stupid prizes.

        “Jimmy’s biggest personal failure was not being able to take advantage of generational wealth. His second biggest personal failure was choosing to steal food for himself, his wife, and kids, instead of choosing to die and let his family risk dying from starvation. His third biggest personal failure was having kids in the first place.”

        Idk, it has a bit of a hollow ring to it. What do you think?
