Honestly I don’t know. I don't think the answer is to make him disappear forever or to inflict physical harm on him, but it’s also not to hand him some toilet paper and thank him for being there. I’m not calling for the latter, I’m just not on board with the former being the alternative. These are the cases where I do think you can get some real value sending people who specialize in working with troubled people instead of sending cops with guns.

I think perhaps voluntary extensive rehab/mental health programs with specific probationary/parole style requirements would be better than what we do in most of these cases. With how much we spend on the re-incarcerated, I think replacing county jail sentences with something more productive could be a way to help clean up the streets. I also support basic housing as a thing we should ensure for all citizens. I’m down to reducing other programs like social security or other public aid programs to prioritize it, but I think it would be possible and helpful for this type of behavior.

I assume you read the article. But on the odd chance you didn't:

Meta is in talks about moving its legal headquarters away from Delaware, according to Bloomberg, mulling the move from a state that has built a favorable reputation among corporations for its tax benefits and lax incorporation requirements.

Meta told Forbes there are no plans to move its corporate headquarters, which is located about 30 miles south of San Francisco, California.
 
In due course, to make room for the next round of world-beating unicorns that sprout from Silicon Valley. Waiting for Texas or Florida to produce just one. Maybe the hospitals are just too far apart for that to happen.

I don't want him eliminate forever. But he needs to be arrested. He needs to be fined. He needs to clean the streets of nyc as community service.

If he does it again, the penalty gets harsher.

If he does it again, it's fine for extended jail time
 
Oklahoma’s government spending on higher education dropped by 26% since 2009, according to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. The state from 2012 to 2017 had the most drastic cuts in higher-education spending anywhere in the U.S.

That's the way to do it!!

the blueprint for blue states if y'all will pardon the pun
 
In November 2019, Idaho enacted a statewide freeze on tuition costs for undergraduate college and university students at four-year institutions within the state. That, paired with budget cuts, is stressing an already scarce higher education budget expected to reach a $22 million shortfall within a few years.

this also works as a blueprint!!
 
Enrollment at South Dakota’s six public universities has dropped by 5% since 2010, according to reporting from the Rapid City Journal. Meanwhile, resident enrollment in the last decade fell by 17%.

the plethora of blueprints is amazing!
 
Since 2013, Iowa cut funding for higher education by more than $180 billion. To compensate for the shortfall, tuition rates have risen.

That also works!!
 
Cuts by the state of Kentucky to its higher education system are among the most significant in the country, transferring costs to students and making undergraduate and graduate degrees less attainable for the population there.

hmmm

California and New York have so much to learn from these blue states

Kentucky has trash cans.
 
the academic associating more dollars to better outcomes is the perfect representation as to why academics are such failures

And they still think covid came from a bat! right, nsacpi?
