| AdviceMan 01/16/18 12:14:39 PM #48: | Really it comes down to "Put people in positions that incentivize bad behavior" and you will get bad behavior. I firmly believe that people will do bad things more reliably if there are incentives for it. The reason why companies can ruin large bodies of water and accept the penalty is because they can afford the penalty. The reason why people sell drugs, is it is the fastest and most reliable way of getting what they want in their environment. Creating a possible negative incentive (getting caught and going to jail), doesn't help, because once out of jail, the individual cannot get a job, therefore incentivizing selling drugs again. So once again, if your goal is to fix the problem a certain nuance is required other than "stop doing bad things". That indeed would be ideal, but it's not likely, and there is no real way to stop it other than by creating the infrastructure where less reasonable people will do bad things. --- "I'm not racist but, BLM sure did make me racist." -Skasa I'm just here to offer you advice, take it or leave it. ...
