If money was no object there would be a lot less poor people selling their kids to human traffickers
Comment on AI Startup Flock Thinks It Can Eliminate All Crime In America
PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day agoI’d like to focus the existance on J. Epstein, D. Trump and the concept of wage theft to illustrate my point of poverty and crime not being inherently related.
Eliminating poverty will help reduce some crimes- those of need- but those of greed or malice will be unimpeded.

Thats why I said “come close” - there are plenty of crimes committed by the ultra wealthy.
However, those aren’t the kind of crimes this kind of mass surveillance is targeting either. They are trying to get rid of petty crime, gang violence, theft… stuff like that. And those kinds of crimes would almost dissapear entirely if you eliminated poverty.
