You're wrong. Crime and most specifically property crime absolutely exploded in west coast cities. Some are now posting "great" YOY numbers, but only in relation to absurdity. Specifically SF has made a number of efforts and changes that has much improvement. Portland is still a mess, and quite the ghost town these days. Seattle was doing better but just elected a mayor who is doubling down on social justice criminal reform and will stop sweeping homeless and enforcing public drug use. Here are a couple of stat links. https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/5565409-property-crime-rates-us-cities/ https://www.koin.com/news/portland/portland-has-one-of-the-highest-property-crime-rates-in-the-u-s/
Is your position that San Diego, LA, SF, Portland and Seattle haven't had a safety issue the last 5 years? I've been to all 5 multiple times each year and sure there is a ebb and flow but its absurd to claim the downtown areas of each of those cities is on par with PreCovid
I always think about this scene when something like that comes up. I once saw a guy partially crushed by a gigantic steel vat of corn syrup because his instinct was to try to stop it from tipping over when a forklift operator bumped it. Was something like the leg crush scene in the Wire, but got most of his leg. There was concave points in the supports that made it survivable. I just heard and saw the immediate problem. Wasn't directly involved in rescue, I was across the yard.
Is there an Intel Nationalization thread beyond the Trump is Debil threads? In summary I am not in favor of the government directly intervening financially in the market. However, there is certainly a place for national security interests and economy to be protected by supporting(short term with direct payback) strategic/critical industries.
