delivery guy pays you to deliver your food

i think its a bit strange to blame medical costs, such as expensive treatment X for serious disease/injury that didnt exist 30 years ago, as the cause of someones death, who would have been dead without that treatment.

the money involved in healthcare does bring up some interesting thoughts.

i remember hearing that the "war on poverty" didnt impact poverty rates because govt guidlines dont factor in gov't social services such as $ amount of medicaid recieved, food stamps, etc.

so really the cause of death should include poverty + depending on X govt services, not either or

i would assume tracking the electronic devices are cheaper

if both options arent funded/run appropriatly public safety is harmed either way

my understanding is most cities lack resources to actually monitor the electronic things,

so usually its after a new crime is commited, the police stories read like:

"X suspected of serious crime violated his electoronic home monitoring Y amount of times, we rearrested him during the act of a seperate crime"

i think the obvious policy he the former attorney lists as causing more crime:

"Bond reform so no one stays in jail"

if every american suspected of shooting someone is held in jail rather than released, we have just removed the most likely population of people who cause future shootings. from the safety of the publics perspective, now the surviving victims/witnesses are more likely to be victims of more crimes because the suspected violent attackers are back on the street.

i dont really think there is room for debate on the "truthyness" of his statement, as if we kept more people in jail, less people would be out in public able to commit crime. how much is a good question tho.
