Why should we support parasites instead of giving them a kick out the door? Too many cops already. Same goes for the prison industry. Legalize drugs, let the druggies kill themselves, and save 50% on police, court, and incarceration costs.
We pay for teachers who are accused of misconduct to sit at desk jobs twiddling their thumbs, since it’s too hard to fire them. That needs to change as well. The solution is bitter medicine for the overpaid workers, not dicking everyone over via inflation.
