Have you considered that many of the public services you rely on every day (roads, safety in food and drugs, public works, fire departments and police, etc) are partly funded with MY money, given to you, a stranger?
I’M happy to contribute to YOUR health, safety, stability, and enjoyment, because I want all of us to have a better future, even if you don’t.
And this is why I left lolitarian after about a month. Once you start looking at the numbers of how much crime costs vs how little after school programs cost it is a no brainier. If someone gets convicted of a felony from the pure cold government accounting they are a net loss. There is almost zero chance that the government will make back what was spent on them.
It just is so much easier to be proactive vs reactive. We know the statistics, we know that a dollar spent on such and such program removes multiple times future costs.
But there are studies and data on this is abundant.
And you couldn’t find one?
It’s easy to extrapolate just from the headlines
Clickbait articles are everywhere. NEVER trust the headlines.
I’m still not doubting what you say is true – I just want to know what studies prove it, simply because I do not possess the requisite knowledge to assume “truthiness” of said articles if I were to even find them. My area of expertise is very far from anything related to human services.

The person wants to punish others. It’s not actually about the cost.
Today I learned that not giving strangers MY money is, quite literally, punishing them
TIL that voting for people who also want to punish others is the best way to punish others.
Nice strawman u dont know what he votes now answer him

Source on the costs? (I’m not doubting what you say is true, I would just like to know where you get your data).
