[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are screwed if we don't get a handle on crime.  Societal excuses and lack of deterrent are eroding safety in major cities and that's going to be a huge problem.[/quote]

Violent crime per 100,000 people in the U.S. 1992: 758.2
Violent crime per 100,000 people in the U.S. 2020: 398.5

Things aren't worse. People just *feel* like they're worse. And, by the way, as someone who lived through 1992 when crime was nearly twice as bad, even that wasn't some kind of urban hellscape. [/quote]

It was, where I was living. Crime is so much better now, I think it's moved more to the poor rural areas, and there are more mass shootings.

I think the US will continue to devolve into a third world country, with huge gaps between the rich and poor, uninsured and insured, climate challenged and wealthy enough to move --unless there is a major progressive revolution of some sort. Unfortunately, we won't even be like the UK, as we don't have enough social support.
