And our leaders would be wanting to figure out ways to include a person’s drug of choice in their welfare benefits. “Here are your food stamps and oxy”.

Given the almost non-existent production cost, it's by far the cheapest way the government could supply entertainment. But I hope instead for responsible private purveyors selling substances much less toxic than alcohol.

Paul, ask Chesa how much you would need per month to live a "middle class" life in Venezuela. How does that compare to the annual cost of incarceration in California? I think we should start with lifers. Outsource life imprisonment to cheap places, then evaluate expansion.

If a lifer chooses to leave, they get a single "danish style" modern cell double the size. Annual audits by ACLU or whatever to ensure prisoners are treated well. Once the pipeline set, we allow citizen transfers w/sentence reductions. Criminal purge. Reimagine Penal colonies.

You are not the first to want to ship all the colored people away, but I am not convinced that you have any coherent reason for calling them criminals. Mostly what we criminalize is poverty.pic.twitter.com/0yG4TkBRlW

Where did "color" come into play? That's a bit of a straw man. Whereever criminals come from (wealth, upper middle class, poor) they tend to, through their OWN mistakes, end up in poor areas. I want to remove every single criminal from infecting poor areas. 'Not my culture'?

The problem is that societies definition of criminal is so broad as to be inclusive of everyone. But we over-police the black and brown neighborhoods.

You seem to have a passion for the subject. Do you know the answers to these? 1. What % of crime is committed by recidivists annually? 2. When we count arrests, If one person is arrested five times in a year, is that counted as one or five arrests against their demographic?

Being busted for drug possession. Versus being busted for drug possession, illegal possession of a firearm, unlawful weapon enhancement, driving under suspended license, failure to appear, etc. A drug bust is a drug bust?
