    You dont think I understand that this helps? I know this helps. This tweet is acting like they’ve found an absolute fact and no one in government is listening but that doesnt track at all with reality and “memes” like this erode public trust in government. The reality is every single leftwing government around the world knows this and even right wing ones at this point. They have all implemented some form of policy based on this understanding but it’s not a silver bullet and government is a balancing act and at some point you still need other approaches like police.

    I can tell you have no idea what im talking about you’re literally the person in the tweet who thinks its a simple issue that is easily solved by giving people food and housing. I dont know what planet you live on but people have food and housing and still commit crime. Giving people a good quality of life reduces crime but there are other factors at play.

    Yes I agree with what you’re saying but the tweet ignores that you’re likely already doing both giving money to cops and giving money to poor people so the nuance of effectiveness of where to allocate the extra funds is not as simple as the tweet puts. I can think of a ton of times where increasing welfare does not impact crime statistics and increasing cop spending does and vice versa. I really do wish it was as simple as the tweet makes it out to be because throwing money at a problem is actually pretty easy.
