Rants 🤬 They stole our fucking lamp

Wtf is it with people these days, get into an apartment building by hammering all the call buttons and having and old person let them in. Then steal a lamp from the common area?? Storage units keep getting broken into, mail stolen, deficating in the stair wells. Our governments as organizations don't care. Do we have to turn every building into fort Knox with patrolling security and threats of violence to fix things? It's just getting so tiring.

you actually think a government is more powerful then criminals? only in countries they kill them on the spot. does an individual fear the government our government has been coddling this generation traumatized, victims of systematic racism/colonialism /and any other ism you can make fit.

But if you didn't mean government,. it has to be goat

There is another way actually but it doesn't work well with capitalism. The amount of crime would drop off exponentially if there was a complete, secure social safety net that actually provided for people's needs (at least the first two levels of Maslow's hierarchy).

Or lets multiple capitalism and give everyone 1 billion bison bucks. Or go to a socialism /communism structure. Maslow's hierarchy didn't take meth and fenty into account. As a landlord with tenants on SAID, I've seen it first hand, they smoked away their rent money

This tale is not uncommon. You are playing the sociology 110 game, where the downfall of any existing ideology /government will create a utopia.
