@MattBruenig@willklinton@EricLevitz the problem is welfare changes can happen immediately while messing with zoning is going to take years to have any material impact on the population. so you’ll have to trust the electorate to wait to see the benefits, and then ascribe those benefits to your party
@Lubchansky as the chaos subsides after a typhoon strikes a remote tropical resort, the survivors are split into two camps: those bonked by coconuts an odd number of times and those bonked an even number of times. but who is who? and what machinations will emerge from the dastardly oddbonks?
@GreatCheshire a marginally larger pizza delivery guy frequently steals the pizzas en route and the Joe's Pizza guy has to go get them back, hence the lateness and the sweatiness
@FinchTH is this due to slow growth rate or missing nutrients in the culture or something else? and cant you sidestep culturing with modern sequencing or is it not necessarily sensitive enough/cost effective?
@Stmckay04 @fritzcomputer @ballesteros_312 50,000 dollars to you is the same, proportionately, as 500 dollars to someone who has 1/100th as much as you. if your goal is to discourage crime by monetary expense, you need to consider their ability to pay. a 50k bond to you may be crippling, a 50k bond to elon musk is nothing
@Stmckay04 @fritzcomputer @ballesteros_312 so if you were arrested for a crime you didnt commit along side another suspect, and you were put on $50,000 bail, and they put on a $500 bail thatd be ok?
@Stmckay04 @fritzcomputer @ballesteros_312 but surely you can see that they are being harmed at different levels when the only difference between them is their wealth
@Stmckay04 @fritzcomputer @ballesteros_312 so with a situation where two people having committed identical crimes with identical levels of suspectness, an one is able to get out of jail with a weeks paycheck and the other a years paycheck, is just and good?
@Stmckay04 @fritzcomputer @ballesteros_312 so bail should be set as a fraction of the suspects net worth and or salary then. otherwise a $50,000 bail is effectively no bail to the indigent but no problem to the millionaire, assuming same crime
