My mom was so happy she got approved for a credit card.

So from age 8 to 14, every year, I asked santa for a credit card.

You’re just using a completely different scenario to move the goalposts.

How so? If you abolish prisons, they’re abolished for every scenario

So, none. Traces by RNA amplification in sewages. But there very well might be a right wing conspiracy.

I would love to be proved wrong, and see the sources describing recent polio cases in england!

Would indeed be apt!

Yeah. I gather you’re from the US.

I’m not telling you what to do.

If we “only” reduce the prison population to 5% or 1% of its current count in the process

Then why call it abolish prisons?

I see now that you’re trying trying to trigger an additional emotional response. Working on association, rather than logic. Such manipulation, especially, is something I would not want to be a part of. It’s vile.

You do you. I’ll just repeat my original statement: it also drives away people, who would otherwise agree.

Wouldn’t giving her the mean to pay the rent prevent her from needing to take part of drug traffic ?

From context I gather you’re from Belgium. Isn’t there already OCMW/CPAS for free housing?

What do you do when it’s the single mom in free housing that just wants 500EUR extra cash? Find political consensus to give her a bigger free house, with a pool, and a credit card?

Everybody understands this, but struggles to apply the same logic to other topics.

People don’t go: England is polio free, yet there’s people with polio.

Perhaps this method of communication is something that will have to adapt. It disengages a lot of people who otherwise would share the same goals.

I have diagnosed C-PTSD. But I understand it’s too late now to treat my father or grandfather.

Going prisonless seems, to me, rediculous?

In short, prison abolition isn’t about abolishing prisons?

Bad name choice in my opinion, as it immediately makes me think: what a dumb idea. There will surely always be people beyond a point of no return.

Isn’t the root cause often (generational) trauma. There’s no, within lifetime, solution.

3 psychologists per criminal I’d guess.

No opportunities for remote gigs with a comp science degree?

You can have thicker ones by making them more thick

I’ve got one of those too. Really annoying.

Surprise the next guy to dig a hole there, by adding another hole underneath the hole.

Frustrated? You need the little book of calm

the good fortune you had by being born in the situation and family you have now.

That’s not the case for every household

Reflecting and seeing improvement in my being.

Discovering my own intuition, and following it to sometimes scary situations. Doing so from a comfortable base I can retreat to when needed.
