So Bird was basically a constellation of small businesses, and all the people who were enthusiastically stealing from the 'faceless corporation' were really ripping off small businesspeople left and right. RIP all those poor people trying to be small-scale entrepreneurs.

One takeaway from the long-running US experiment with sky-high incarceration rates is that you can't imprison your way out of a crime problem. In spite of locking away so many people, there's a huge issue with criminality that's ingrained in many subcultures. It makes me think maybe China's social credit system might be more effective than what we have now.
