Exactly. So we should be inducing more demand for the healthy options that are good for people and reduce demand for the options that destroy the environment and give kids asthma. Glad you agree.

I'm having trouble with discerning whether or not you think the current status quo is fine. There are plenty of things that we can and should automate. And we should be investing more into infrastructure and the workforce.

Your comment is reductive and does not address the point I raised. The paper does not make any mention of representation within police forces.

Interesting of you to highlight that in your post and then not include this from the paper's abstract: "larger police forces make more arrests for low-level “quality-of-life” offenses, with effects that imply a disproportionate burden for Black Americans."
