We have studied this problem ad nauseum. The West knew the answer until about a century ago. Europe became orderly through shame culture, executing criminals and destruction of clan culture.

El Salvador is a modern example.

The remedy is violent, unkind, and not communist so we get indefinite unbounded suffering instead.

Of the measures available to the justice system for deterrence, increasing the perceived certainty of arrest is possibly the most effective.

An arrest also prevents the same offender from committing more crimes. Since offending is highly concentrated among a relatively small number of repeat offenders, this isn't insignificant.

Hence why the EU is competing so well against the US

You'd think that an army full of oppressed Roman citizens would've overthrown them right.

You're mixing up two different things. Moving electricity with HVDC is easy and cheap... building the grid infrastructure is, well, not so easy or cheap.

The system cost depends on connection queues, transmission buildout, substations, transformers, planning permission, curtailment, etc.

Production of transformers, cables, and labour capacity are bottlenecks. Planning is a bottleneck.

Lol, sure. until the first "revolutionary" takes one in the chest.

Americans are too comfortable. Leftist rhetoric is virtue signaling and costless.

Get some skin in the game then smart guy
