I want to add? That investment means a lot of what's told to you by those in power about homelessness are lies. It's not drugs, its the cost of housing skyrocketing compared to wages Outreach programs are not coming out to encampments daily. Cops don't count as outreach.

Marknad är oerhört vettigt för korta, tydliga, stuprörsproblem (jag är hungrig, vad ska jag äta?) Och mindre bra där kostnad och förtjänst inte sammanfaller, i tid eller rum (som exemplet ovan, men även tex samhällsnyttan av cykling, och inte minst klimatkrisen).

Yikes! Have you guys seen this? The creep factor in Steve Hilton’s “Just Try It” campaign ad is off the charts. Republicans are losing their shit over it. Calling it “creepy,” “weird,” and sexually suggestive. Some are flat-out embarrassed. Evangelical pastor Jack Hibbs called it “grotesque.”

Prop 42 is a cynical, deceptive provision that pretends to "protect retirement savings" (which aren't under threat) but has only 2 real effects: block prop 40 and hand an unpredictable set of weird consequences of its bad drafting to future tax opponents. Shame on its supporters.

I mean, no, the reason cops are disproportionately likely to say they believe rates of false allegations are higher than they are is because cops are disproportionately likely to do things that would make them the subject of allegations that are true
Most criminal justice experts estimate that 2 to 8 percent of sexual assault allegations are actually false. But law enforcement officers tend to assume the rate of false reporting is much higher—in part because police officers don't always receive training on how trauma can affect memory or behavior.
