Not saying I agree with Singapore's methodology. But their calculus is that one drug trafficker will bring in enough drugs to kill 5 people. Therefore, the murder of one person is saving 5 others.

Once again, I'm not endorsing or condoning this, just trying to show you how they conceptualize their form of justice.

They already died. Letting them exist as street zombies is inhumane.

Yes, absolutely.

I have been thinking about how I (and many others) go to work for a corporate job that has ultimately no meaning in life just to be able to get paid to provide for a family that i only get to hang with on saturday and sunday and if i'm lucky 2 weeks straight out of the year. am i alive?

Presumably you at lease derive meaning from your family; not all of us even have that.

I often hear “Had a wife in kids in Baltimore, Jack. I went out for a ride and I never went back” from “Hungry Heart” by Bruce Springsteen in my head when I think about mid-life discontent. That and “Office Space”; it seems to be the rule that we experience it rather than the exception.

This is disgusting, dehumanizing, and when applied to any group at any scale will cause atrocity. Says incredibly much about this site that this comment is welcome here. Straight up eliminationist. How about I advocate for your death as a matter of policy?

I am 100% fine with this trade off.

Please don't post like that on HN.

You have to stop the bleeding at the root. A low effort sensationalist post about "murdering" does not deserve a better reply.
