[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure why this is in off topic and not politics. But I live in the Baltimore suburbs and it's hard not to ignore the obvious decline in public standards and expectations around theft and shoplifting. The drug stores putting everything behind glass containers. The stories of the police not bothering to come out for reports of shoplifting or burglaries or porch thefts. The big increase in antisocial driving behaviors. When you see a lot of small quality of life incidents go unpunished and unpenalized and the police not doing anything about it because they've been told by their political masters not to do anything about it, it's really hard not to feel that social behaviors is fragmentizing and declining and pulling people apart.

I'm also increasingly skeptical of these article from NYT or WaPo or Atlantic or LATimes other usual liberal papers admonishing us everything is actually great and we're only racist/bigoted/sexist/whatever for thinking otherwise. Like Biden's ridiculously tone deaf statements on how Thanksgiving has never been cheaper when food bills have exploded in the last few years. I know it all comes down to heavily selective "facts".
