That’s why you all should know that Epstein didn’t kill himself.
What do the police do with it then ?
Pretty much sums it up
Where I come from, there’s a saying that goes something like this: ‘There are only two kinds of people in jail: the very stupid and the very poor.’
😢
Oh, this post is turning out to be a sad one.Anyway, I’ve heard that mental illnesses and other psychological issues often lead to jail and only get worse in there. Modern societies are not at all prepared to handle these kinds of problems.
Insofar as “modern societies” refer to the people who hold power in them, I’m not so sure modern societies are interested in handling these kinds of problems.
Justice is a luxury the poor can’t afford because the rich pay to evade.
This is the endgame of uncapped lawyer fees.
Anyone interested in this area check out Ted Chiang’s short story It’s 2059, and the Rich Kids are Still Winning.
Premise: In the future, scientists conduct an experiment to genetically modify poor children to improve their intelligence, so they have a better chance to succeed in life. While the experiment proves to be successful, and the children’s IQ increases, they still fail to achieve social progress, because the entire state system favors the rich only.
Thanks. That was… interesting but depressing to read.
Anyway, here’s the link in case anyone else happens to be curious.

The cost of justice is too damn high!
That made me think of a riddle.
The poor beg for my arrival.
The rich never want to see me.
The poor can’t afford my visit.
The rich pay to block my entry.
Who am I?The sweet release of death.
Oh. Good point.
Well, that works too, I guess.I don’t know the intended answer!

Justice?
Totally.
Also, it’s kinda funny to strictly follow this logic, because it means that the rich still struggle to get justice if the criminals are the rich.
When a rich person screws over another rich person, the one with more money will be able to inflict greater injustice on the other. Either way, this equation involves no justice, and people pay to keep it that way.
Hypothetically, how much wealthier do I need to be in order to pay to lock up a racist white dude?
You mean those broke warehouse workers who spend their pennies on ugly tattoos and cheap beer? If you have a decent insurance that covers legal bills, you should be fine.
Yep 100%
