Sheeesh, and ya all wonder why no one listens to the left.
If you know shit about topic, you can only skim the surface. That’s common sense. More police = less crime. More military = less risk of being attacked. More goods = smaller prices. That’s common sense.
What it doesn’t account for is, for example, too much police = more corruption, too much military = expansionist ideas, too many goods = oversaturation and sharp drop in said goods. Because that requires deeper knowledge. Yes, not much deeper, but you need to know these things are in fact factors, and that the problem is more complex than what’s seen at a glance.
Edit: Forgot to answer why it’s overused by racists etc. If you know black do most crime out of all, it’s common sense to want them pacified. If you know drugs are bad and mexicans are known for cartels, it makes sense to not want mexicans which can be smugglers. It all falls apart as soon as you read on it or do anything, but what these people have most of is willful ignorance.
