Employees at an Indiana Hardee’s took photos of drive-thru customers debit and credit cards and then used them to deposit money into the accounts of inmates.
When people are stressed for long periods of time, they lose the ability to plan ahead. You literally can only worry about the present.
The result is crimes like this people read about and say “how can they be so stupid they didn’t think they’d get caught”.
It worked in the moment, and a month later to someone with this much stress is a lifetime away.
This effect is responsible for a lot of our crime. And we can get rid of it by actually having a safety net so people don’t get in the trap of only worrying about today.
Jesus, why do so many employees at a single Hardee’s location know so many people in prison?
Why do we still have bail?
To keep the poors from using their lack of wealth to flee from prosecution.
I hope there’s an Arby’s crew working on their bail right now.
