@amerika @dcc @Deplorable_Degenerate @thegreatape @gnarley_boot @andreas yeah, though i personally would support some level of it to have a (crappy but livable) baseline of life even if these weren't a problem. while traditionally it was less needed because of the societal and family structures, there's always exceptions, abusive families, death, shit like that where say the woman would have to go out early. in a society where woman aren't expected to work thats some pretty undue challenges. while traditional structure is much better than systematic gibs its not an absolute so definitely i'd like there to be some form of options. but yeah something abusable you just coast on without a valid reason is insane. if anything, my personal opinion is that a land value tax should be used to pay for a basic livable income and then all further spending is adjusted based on whats left over. or you could do that land value - taxes and then give whatevers left over but that seems like an easy way to overstep into horrible tax expenditures and give nobody shit -

@amerika @dcc @Deplorable_Degenerate @thegreatape @gnarley_boot @andreas yeah but reducing cost of living is easier said than done in a free market economy. (course planned have their own issues, i'd support price fixing over necessities and otherwise having a free market). i think the land value tax is a good way to do so because generally land and housing is the highest cost for many people, certainly for me. killing the investment value of simply posessing land and doing nothing with it is a pretty good way of dropping those, it's implementations all tend to work quite well at dropping the cost of living hard
so i guess i have the same answer just different primary approach -

@amerika @dcc @Deplorable_Degenerate @thegreatape @gnarley_boot @andreas i agree with regulation but i fail to see how land value tax would increase housing prices, pretty much every real world implementation has seen significant reductions in them, because you can build on far cheaper land and more densely if needed as theres not a huge bulk of land being held for profit and driving up prices. after all the significant factor in housing prices doesnt tend to be the housing itself but the land price. a land value tax is static so there's no tax burden to actually build something there and so theres no point in owning land that only slowly drains your wallet and all that speculation bs is gone -

@amerika @dcc @Deplorable_Degenerate @thegreatape @gnarley_boot @andreas no the land value tax is not like a property tax, it's a completely fixed tax that doesn't vary by location, prices, value evaluation, etc. i've i'm not being clear enough here i'm referring to the model as described in georgism
any variable tax is usually a horrible idea that only only worsen things -

@amerika @dcc @Deplorable_Degenerate @thegreatape @gnarley_boot @andreas i have a detroit friend who always goes on and on about how detroit was a shining example of fascism in the u.s. and is still one of the best.
i did not know looking this up but apparently as of 2021 we have a limited implementation here? looks like a lot of implementations have a semi solution to the farming thing of having a short range and varying by municpality, but its always quite low
or in latvias case as usual the worst solutions to things, we only apply this to rural land. https://www.vid.gov.lv/en/real-estate-tax
which is just, like, the most major issue here is in cities why would you only apply that rural land thats so so fucking stupid but i guess you still wanna keep your shitty fucking oligarchs happy -

@dcc @amerika @Deplorable_Degenerate @thegreatape @gnarley_boot @andreas considering what awful conditions and financial pressures the vast majority of them live under it's honestly impressive its only 60% of violent crimes. good job for having self control blacks -

@amerika @dcc @Deplorable_Degenerate @thegreatape @gnarley_boot @andreas poverty doesn't cause crime its a risk factor. people have their basic needs, and when the system fails to provide it, be this due to mistakes, debt of any kind, medical expenses, high rent, whatever, that could risk their food, their housing, and things like this, obviously people are gonna take it in their own hands no shit. and with all the regulation there is in society the only way to have direction action to benefit yourself like would be commonplace in a pre-industrial society is to commit crimes typically.
you take a risk to ensure housing or food for you or maybe your family, it makes perfect sense to me. sure poverty can be livable without crime but when those hardships come and you finally run out its quite hard not to. nor do i really have a problem with any of that.
and when your from an impoverished community that has to resort to those things its only understandable it becomes normalized. you gotta fix those impoverished conditions and have a new generational cycle without this normalizing culture to fix that. it's gradual and would take atleast around a hundred years to truly fix if beauracracy didnt kill it, so its not wonder the short sighted people in a democracy aren't gonna support any policy that will actually solve shit and jsut crack down more. your cracking down isn't gonna work unless you take the bukele approach and just get everybody more or less indiscriminately frm such areas, which could work but i think most people would have an even worse issue calling that inhumane -

@amerika @dcc @Deplorable_Degenerate @thegreatape @gnarley_boot @andreas welfare is rarely livable. if our going anecdotal with "real-life experience" i'll just say mine greatly differs and leave it there -

@amerika @dcc @Deplorable_Degenerate @thegreatape @gnarley_boot @andreas near tacoma washington, spent a lot of time in the city and in parkland which is about the worst in the state (might still be second to spokane though). not the worst area but for sure nothing too nice. sucked on my taxes but the washingtonian welfare state did help on some things, namely healthcare, i would be in insane medical debts right now if i didn't have medicaid. not that free is necessary the best healthcare solution but the monopolistically inflated american situation is certainly far worse! -

@Deplorable_Degenerate @amerika @dcc @thegreatape @gnarley_boot @andreas scholarships and career? yes and i think affirmative hiring and shit like that is a horrible stupid idea. more leniancy in court? lmao, very much not they get charged hard for the smallest shit. other gibes like welfare and stuff? not really excess, there are firm qualifications to get those its not a case by case basis, its pretty evenly distributed among the impoverished -

@Deplorable_Degenerate @amerika @dcc @thegreatape @gnarley_boot @andreas idk usually i see white people get lighter sentencing and for blacks they through everything in the kitchen sink at them but i imagine it depends on demographics of the court. its part of a racial caste system that really hasnt change much since slavery times. -

@Deplorable_Degenerate @amerika @dcc @thegreatape @gnarley_boot @andreas that sounds like an exaggeration however we're both being anecdotal here so lets pull up some data shall we
https://www.ussc.gov/research/research-reports/2023-demographic-differences-federal-sentencing
>Sentencing differences continued to exist across demographic groups when examining all sentences imposed during the five-year study period (fiscal years 2017-2021). These disparities were observed across demographic groups—both among males and females.
>Specifically, Black males received sentences 13.4 percent longer, and Hispanic males received sentences 11.2 percent longer, than White males (depicted below).
See image 1, length
>The sentencing differences in the data the Commission examined largely can be attributed to the initial decision of whether the sentence should include incarceration at all rather than to the length of the prison term once a decision to impose one has been made. In particular, the likelihood of receiving a probationary sentence varied substantially by gender and race.
> Black males were 23.4 percent less likely, and Hispanic males were 26.6 percent less likely, to receive a probationary sentence compared to White males (depicted below).
See image 2, changes of probation
> The sentencing differences were less pronounced when the analyses focused solely on cases in which a sentence of imprisonment was imposed, which comprise 94 percent of all cases sentenced during the five-year study period.
> Focusing solely on these cases, Black males received lengths of incarceration 4.7 percent longer, and Hispanic male received lengths of incarceration 1.9 percent longer, than White males.
> Differences in the length of imprisonment across demographic groups were concentrated among individuals who received relatively short sentences.
> Among individuals sentenced to 18 months or less incarceration, Black males received lengths of incarceration 6.8 percent longer than White males. The difference narrowed to 1.3 percent for individuals who received sentences of greater than 18 months to 60 months; but for sentences longer than 60 months, Black males received lengths of incarceration approximately one percent shorter than White males.
