Ah yes Kenneth Copeland on the Victory (?) network. He's considered a expert in his field and and not at all a cook looking for peoples money. Everyone knows him.

https://komonews.com/amp/news/local/seattle-city-council-mulls-plan-that-could-result-in-dismissal-of-many-misdemeanor-crimes?__twitter_impression=true&s=03
The Seattle City Council is considering new legislation that would create a legal loophole that would make substance addiction, mental illness or poverty a valid legal defense for nearly all misdemeanor crimes committed in the city.
The legislation was proposed by Seattle City Councilwoman Lisa Herbold last Wednesday.
The proposal would allow for the dismissal of crimes of poverty and it would do so by revising the definition of duress as a defense against prosecution.
If approved, the ordinance would excuse and dismiss -- essentially legalizing -- almost all misdemeanor crimes committed in Seattle by offenders who could show either:
- Symptoms of addiction without being required to provide a medical diagnosis;
- Symptoms of a mental disorder; or
- Poverty and the crime was committed to meet an "immediate and basic need." For example, if a defendant argued they stole merchandise to sell for cash in order to purchase food, clothes or was trying to scrape together enough money for rent. The accused could not be convicted.

I think I got a B+ in sociology 101, but that was 14 years ago. I’m excited to know what I’m missing here

.Charles Dickens wrote on the effects of poverty
In like the 19th century.
The French Revolution should be another go to when trying to understand the upshot of poverty.
Dont even have to back that far, Chile 2020, Venezuala,Cuba pre revolution.
Or literature.
That should keep you busy
//////
I think the Seattle idea is a worthy social experiment.
Why wouldn't you ?
////////////
Sociology tells us poverty is the main gateway to addiction
was that why you got a B+ rather than an A ?

I am guessing there is quite a bit more to the initiative than the blanket you suggest.

I hate to have to keep going back to TV shows and films but in The Wire Season 4 I think.

I maintain that on it's face it is a worthy social experiment.
Why punish people for poverty and the ensuing addiction ?
