> If you steal from the rich and powerful you go to prison, but killing tens to hundreds of thousands of children in Africa is too abstract to punish that way

This crosses jurisdictions. We have no international legal system that doesn’t rely on voluntary cooperation.

If you’re claiming that every car- and bicycle-theft victim is a billionaire, idk what to tell you.

Oh bike thieves are lower than dog poop, for sure. My ambivalence stems from the cop who might catch that thief stealing 100X more from the municipality in the form of overtime fraud. The rot is in play at every level of scale.

Also you don't need international justice to find criminality in how DOGE was done.
