theconcealedweapon: An action being “punishable by a fine” basically means “legal for rich people”.

一种用“处以罚款”就能解决的行为基本上就意味着对富人来说（该行为）“是合法的”。

gnot knormal: Oh wow. That's...

哇哦，那真是....

zipsuptsides: I once dated a rich guy and if I said “Hey it's illegal to drink on the street.”He'd respond with “Nah it just costs ￡150” or “You can't park here!” “Yeh I can it costs ￡35”like...literally...that's how he saw fines it was just how much you paid to do the thing.

我曾和一个富人约会过，如果我说“那个，在街上喝酒是违法的。”他会这么回应我，“没事，罚金不过150英镑而已”，或者我说“你不能在这停车！”他回说，“我可以，就罚35英镑而已.....”真的...罚金在他眼中不过如此，只是这种行为要花多少钱才能做而已。

In Canada here depending on speed you lose points off your license and then eventually you can't drive.
But for parking I don't think there's anything. The city would love it actually if you paid 100$ a day in parking fines.

在加拿大这里取决于速度，超速会扣你驾照上的分，多次超速的话你最终会被吊销驾照不能开车。但对于停车我不认为有什么。如果你愿意每天都支付100美元的停车罚款，市政会很高兴的。

Makes sense as parking tickets are 'non moving violations' and in theory do not really endanger anyone; however if you are parking in front of a fire hydrant constantly you are potentially endangering others and should perhaps lose points or something similar.

这就说得通了，因为停车罚单是“不动的违规行为”，理论上不会真正危及任何人；然而，如果你经常在消防栓前停车，那你可能会危及他人，会被扣分或类似的惩罚。

if you think 'the rich' have advantage in trivial fines just wait to you see the advantages the wealthy have in criminal court cases!!

如果你认为“富人”只是在琐碎的罚款方面有优势，那就等着看富人在刑事案件中的优势吧！！

Some countries have fines as % of a person’s monthly income. That is better way to punish the violation of non aggression principle

Wealthy don’t have advantage in criminal cases against them when the case is filed by a govt

一些国家/地区的罚款按个人每月收入的百分比算。这是惩罚违法行为的更好方法。当刑事案件是由政府机构提起诉讼时，有钱人在案件中没有优势。

Time is the only thing we all use st the same rate and it’s actually worth more than money because you can’t get time back.
These punishments should be based on time.
$50 fine? Timeout or community service for 60 minutes or something like that.
I guarantee no wealthy person is going to risk losing a couple hours just to double park.

我们之间唯一公平的资源就是时间了，它实际上比金钱更有价值，因为你无法让时间倒流。这些惩罚应该要基于时间。罚款50美元？如果超时，罚社区服务60分钟或类似的处罚。我保证没有富人会冒损失几个小时的黄金时间就为了并排停车。

Time isn't really all that equal when you compare the rich to the poor.
Rich people can afford babysitters to watch their kids they can afford to use services like instacart to buy groceries they can afford the gas to drive to the location and probably aren't reliant on mass transportation schedules they can afford tutors for their kids so they don't have to help with homework they can afford to order pizza instead of cooking they can hire cleaning services rich people can afford to have more free time than a poor person could.

富人和穷人相比，时间并不是那么平等。富人雇得起保姆照看他们的孩子，他们能用得起像一小时送货上门的网上杂货（instacart）这样的服务来购买杂货，他们负担得起驾车去各处而不用等公交的汽油费，他们能为他们的孩子请家教，而不用自己辅导他们做家庭作业，他们订得起披萨而不用自己做饭，他们可以雇保洁（而不用自己做家务），富人能比穷人有更多的空闲时间。

That hour may affect a rich person and a poor person way differently.

那一小时的惩罚时间对富人和穷人的影响是天差地别的。
