    why? it’s a conversation about the impact of theft. Theft is wrong and should be punished and shunned, but the only real solution is to attack the causes of crime, otherwise it’s whack-a-mole.

    Why is it a bizarre take to say “instead of just plugging the hole the water is coming through, we should also fix leaking pipes causing the flood?”

    (note italics to denote caring about several things at the same time, I think its weirder to assume crime has only one cause and one solution: the perpetrator)
