That’s a great idea. I think we should do that. As well as lock up the boosters. If you let people steal without repercussions society goes down fast

Agreed, the lack of fines or jail time in some localities does seem to be a critical piece of the business model.

Here in Maine, our max fine of $1000 and/or a jail sentence of up to 180 days for theft sounds about right, but in turn I'm supportive of efforts to lower the local incarceration rate: https://www.prisonpolicy.org/profiles/ME.html
