Comment on Explain why the US bail system is not insane

I don’t see why people with money should get benefits in the legal a capitalist system.
I agree cash bail is insane, however, reframing the problem should help make it clear what is really going on

Because being rich is measurable evidence that you are a better person than a power. You have more ability to spend money, powering the economic engine, and capital to fund new ventures, either directly by starting businesses and employing people or indirectly through savings and investments.
A rich person in jail objectively harms society.
Maybe if we ate the rich and distributed their assets it would be an alternative?

Creating businesses by rich people with overworking people with minimum wage gets defined as a good human… A pimp is them a person of heart of gold 🏆🏆🏆

I like how you redefined what a “better person” is to mean more like “better company resource”.

If you are a company resource then you are a poor, and not an economic engine. True riches create companies and employ poors.
