re: #414 Sergey Romanov

That’s apparently what you wish should happen. Turn the blind eye to the criminals.

Look, here’s what I’m saying: if you build a society in which 40% of young people (or whatever) are unemployed, but you let a few lucky people earn astronomical sums of money and pass their privilege on, unimpeded, to their offspring, you’re going to get rioting.

That’s just human nature. And history suggests that throwing lots of people in jail is a short-term solution at best.
