Comment on Explain why the US bail system is not insane
redditron_2000_4@lemmy.world 1 month agoBecause being rich is measurable evidence that you are a better person than a power. You have more ability to spend money, powering the economic engine, and capital to fund new ventures, either directly by starting businesses and employing people or indirectly through savings and investments.
A rich person in jail objectively harms society.
Maybe if we ate the rich and distributed their assets it would be an alternative?

I like how you redefined what a “better person” is to mean more like “better company resource”.

If you are a company resource then you are a poor, and not an economic engine. True riches create companies and employ poors.
