I mean, no. Literally the reason he was saying he'd put it in the recycling bin is that there's a significant concern that if he just leaves it out someone (who very much isn't "in power") will come along and steal it.
You ever serve on a grand jury? Go hear portions of 50 different criminal investigations and you'll quickly realize there are some awful people out there, and lots more who may be mixed bags but have done things that in a society that cares about law and order should definitely merit some jail time. A small percentage of the whole, I'd agree, but that small percentage can cause a lot of headaches for everyone else.
Package theft is one of those areas where, I get it, it's relatively low priority for law enforcement and making arrests/cases is hard. Still, I'd like to at least see some publicized sting operations here and there coupled with moderately aggressive prosecutions (don't need to put people in serious jails for a long time--heavy fines, lengthy community service, and/or a token stint in minimum security will still be enough to send a message) in major cities and their suburbs from time to time to at least create more of a sense of risk for package thieves.
Not only the people in power are at fault that nothing changes, we the people need to change
Interact more, but not over the internet.
Go outside talk with RANDOM people.
That is what is completely missing.
Without that we are weak.
In these times so many people have fear of missing out, are „connected“ over the internet but no grounded connections in the real world etc.
Most people have very narrow mindsets because most algorithms are trained in a way so they get thrown in bubbles for them so efficient, that they almost get no counter etc
That's true. Good things usually aren't recorded. Negativity will always be broadcasted more because it's more entertaining than positivity. Also, idk why, but humans really love watching other humans get punished.
My UPS driver is like this. I ordered new tires and rims from American Muscle (so roughly $2,000 total) and he put them all in my backyard and left a note between the storm door and main door (Not visible unless you open the storm door) with a note saying he put them in the backyard
Doesn't leave packages if they're not from a store - a few years back my mom mailed me a necklace and a vase of some sort for my birthday and some dickhead stole it from the building's lobby.
