At $50K/yr, that's 1.25MM that society gets to pay to punish the theft of $950*3 worth of Amazon packages.
The insignificant fear of losing an Amazon package makes unbelievably comfortable people absolutely hysterical. It's got to be performative, it can't be real.
That person is likely already a net drain on the system in many ways, I'd guess 50K is less than the cost of their actions + welfare over the year.
I think people are more concerned about the brazen displays of antisocial behaviour.
Do you at least understand the opposite position, that not spending this money to deter antisocial behavior will result in it becoming widespread, and a greater net loss than this?
