People are stealing from stores. Government is allocating $16M towards this. Option A) give each and every one of them $16,000 in rent and food and diapers and and clothing vouchers, and another $650/month to spend however they want. Option B) spend the same amount on an "anti theft task force" that has no firm success criteria, and will surely want an expanded budget next cycle. 🤵 "But Datum, it surely can't be so simple" :mastorespirator: actually they say they've identified the 500 people and the $16,000,000 is earmarked. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/chronic-property-crime-unit-9.7245182
