Does it actually work like we hope it does?

No and it never has

It only works for people the state expects significant amounts of money from (taxes don’t count)

Don’t expect a government to help you unless you’re one of its larger donors

  • Depends where, I think. Where your neighbors are mostly honorable, it mostly works. There are plenty of nice neighborhoods, and no shortage of bad ones either, sadly.

    • It has worked great in Sweden until a decade or so ago! Depends on the population and general sense of community.

it does, yeah. people love to examine exceptions and determine that the system they appeared within should be dismantled, it's all over the place.
