Been following the (the story of) California’s lead w/r to the $1K threshold

Do not know whether the $1K threshold is per commissioning of the non-prosecutable crime, or by per shop per day

Generally am skeptical of the approach, but remain agnostic, and only because am not convinced that prosecuting such crimes would net net decrease what might well be systemic.

Herding thousands into prison to learn the better tricks of the trade might result in net net worse

Fining thousands so that they need to commit more and bigger crimes might end up in net net worst

Dunno, and I am not being sarcastic

Crime is a symptom, and criminals are victims also, if we are to be understanding

Locked up criminals cost net net money, if we are practical

Can recommend re-education centers, but I understand why such an approach might attract criticism

So, here we are, until we move
