@scarlett some socialist utopias scale their fines by income, so that a rich fuck running a red light with his tesla can pay 80000€ for that

Those places do exits, but those are still capitalist states, just augmented with some degree of reason.

@scarlett my favourite thing is fines expressed as a proportion of income or wealth.

@scarlett yeah damn straight. As long as fines are not scaled to income we are in a grossly inequitable system that disproportionately punishes those who are more vulnerable. Makes me really mad thinking about it.
