If Google wants to lobby to get rid of bail bonds, more power to them. But focusing on bail bondsmen is (a distinctly liberal sort of) feel-good ignorance: focusing on the “evil” business instead of the state that is actually causing the problem.

There is a good argument that the government should ensure adequate water supplies in the event of disaater. But if the government fails to do that, banning private businesses from “gouging” people by selling water at market rates feels good but actually hurts people. Targeting bail bondsmen in a world where the government abuses minority and low income communities by requiring excessive bail is likewise misguided.
