      Replying to @s8mb

      If you think cutting foreign aid implies killing foreigners is okay then eating at a restaurant instead of buying mosquito nets is also equivalent to killing foreigners.

      Duh. I don't claim that it's morally good to do that, or that public policy should promote that.

      Replying to @s8mb

      Wouldn't the implication be that the government should ban luxuries and raise huge taxes just above the poverty threshold to fund foreign aid? Why don't you support that?

      I support taxes and spending that maximise domestic economic growth and spending as much of the tax revenue we raise beyond the spending needed to maximise domestic growth on this kind of foreign aid.

      I also favour huge amounts of immigration of unskilled workers from poor countries on the grounds that it improves their welfare, including if it reduces the welfare of Britons, eg through higher crime.

      If one violent assault leads to improved welfare for one unskilled worker, how many times are you willing to be violently assaulted on this basis?

      Aha, you've got me. This excellent, clear analogy shows I'm wrong – nice one.

    8. ZERO HP Lovecraft  🐬‏ @0x49fa98 Jun 3
      Replying to @s8mb @Zadok_ @AnglesonWalter

      really, honestly, put a number on it. What is the conversion rate between increased crime in britain vs. improved welfare for imported unskilled laborers. Is there any theoretical threshold where it's not worth it?

      If we take the value of a statistical life to be $5m then one extra secret murder would be worth $5m in extra welfare (to anyone else in the world). Since an extra murder also increases people's sense of fear then it's likely to be more than that but that's how to think about it.

      Replying to @s8mb @0x49fa98 and

      For crime to be a reason to restrict immigration you would have to show that criminals are more likely to kill abroad than in the UK. Since if this is not true, allowing them in, doesn't change the # of murders, just the location, which isn't that important.

      Solid argument against prison - the murder rate in prisons that hold murderers is far higher than on the outside so imprisoning murderers actually increases crime.
