This is a lie.
There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

The mathematics of starvation: how Israel caused a famine in Gaza
Israel controls the flow of food. It calculated how much Gaza needs – but data shows how this is being withheld

This is a full-on piece of work that really dives into the nature of capitalism today and links it back to the ideas of Friedman. Slight typo @edzitron.com ('Capitalism & Freedom', not Friedman) but an incredible read with lots of powerful examples of the incompetence of those at the top. #EconSky
