incentive, disincentive... ponders (me!) ~topps
in 2014 a law was enacted that made stealing anything under $950 value a misdemeanor instead of a felony. -formerly it was $400.
i have to... like, who?... why on earth?... are we incentivizing stealing? and to absolutely no ones surprise.. stealing increased. -is still increasing... -lower the consequence; increase the crime.
****
REPEAL PROPOSITION 47, YES, PLEASE AND AS SOON AS YOU CAN!
****
and i think often.. of how many hoops, cost, forms, applications
just for a few artists.. tax-paying, law-abiding, creative and productive citizens looking to sell some of the hand crafted items they worked to create..
how difficult and costly just to get a booth somewhere..
*****
and i juxtapose those often.. the way our current laws, policies/procedures create incentives for criminals to steal and disincentives for artists to create, and earn income from their work.
****
i'm going to have to come up with a proposition proposition 213! that provides incentives for artists... and greater consequences for thieves.
