I've spent literally more hours than I can count contemplating this including El Salvador, the US, and the world. When considering the whole ball of wax (I'm a beekeeper), it's extremely difficult to figure out the perfect solution. It's not just black and white. I honestly understand what Peter and Vitor are saying and sympathize with both. Peter has a point with violent people, gangs, etcetera but Vitor also has a point. Lack of due process is a very slippery slope. It leads to bad things also. In El Salvador, Bukele is becoming a dictator, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Somehow the solution cannot lead to a dictator. Bitcoin will help fix some but not all of our problems. It gives people sound money but doesn't stop violent bad people.

Unrelated, penalties against white collar criminals who defraud people out of millions need to be much stiffer.

OK, I have a headache again from contemplation. I need a Gummi. Somebody let me know when you have it all figured out. I'll be relieved if it's a solution that makes sense to me. ☮️ 💜🫂

Due process costs money, a lot of money.

El Salvador had to compromise on due process when they rounded up the gang members. When 1% of your population are murderous , violent, criminals who need to be locked up, there simply aren't enough judges or lawyers to give everyone full due process.

The West faces the exact same problem with illegals. We've allowed in literally tens of millions of violent, unproductive, people who need to be forced out, and fast. There aren't enough judges or lawyers on the planet to give every one of those people trials.

The compromise is some innocent people will be wronged. But overall it's the right compromise to make. Fighting violence and criminality at this scale is closer to fighting a war than it is a policing action.
