          10/ shooting looters is negative for the person doing the shooting (emotional impact, ammunition costs, spackle/drywall/painting costs, etc.) but has a positive externality for society (one less looter, deterrence vs others) q.e.d.: we should investigate a transfer tax / bounty

          So how far do we take it in your inhuman scenario where it's ok to kill someone over inanimate objects? Is there a dollar amount? Is it ok to kill for a TV, but not a stick of gum?Death penalty for littering? What about insulting somebody? Should we go back to pistol duels?

          13/ Yes. "Into the home" is an excellent Schelling point / dividing line. You can come through a locked door for rape / murder / a TV / a stick of gum, and you get shot. You can steal a stick of gum or a riding mower from the barn and not get shot.https://twitter.com/KarlKGallagher/status/1419678102628753408 …

          If someone's CYOA includes "go into the house", I'm not going to check whether he's looking for the "TV" option or "assault wife and kids" option before shooting.
