A quick reminder that law enforcement *responds* to crime, but a living wage, food and water security, accessible healthcare, and public education *prevent* crime.

If you want safer communities, invest in people, not punishments.

@QasimRashid It's not an either/or proposition. A society can and should invest in both.

@BadWolfLil Totally. Both are necessary to invest in.
Though otherwise I think @QasimRashid has a good point.

@BadWolfLil @QasimRashid I didn't mean UBI is the right way to go; I'm not sure of how the logistics could work for that. I'm more in favor of equal *opportunity* than forced equity; e.g. I'm thinking that just the money you make is your income, except there's a welfare system for the less fortunate.
