Neither DC crime, nor the border, nor inflation are real issues.

100%. It's all overblown and being misrepresented.

Crime is bad. I get it. Other people here get it to. But our rate of violent crime is better than those other cities. It's like people in Ward 3 flipping out over a single digit increase in a type of crime, when from a level perspective they are way, way, way below the rest of the city.

These articles all lack perspective.

lol. “inflation is not an issue” is the latest progressive Twitter spin attempt now that “crime is not a problem” has failed. so clueless.

Inflation *was* a problem for a small amount of time. It no longer is a huge problem.

Inflation is still up. Not as high as it was a year ago, but it is still up. And, most prices have not come down.
So, yes, it is still a problem for most Americans.
Maybe not for you.

Prices haven't gone down and wages haven't come up. It's still a huge problem, just not a huge problem getting worse

I still don't understand how it is lost on people that crime will increase when crime at the very top of our society is not only not enforced but glorified and accepted and that anyone who follows the rules is somehow a cu%k.

The law is not being enforced on those at the top. There are no social norms any more. There is no culpability. There is glorification of getting over everyone else, avoiding taxes, skirting within the grey areas, trading state secrets, etc. Corporations are allowed to do what the he%k they want because they have power and money. The rhetoric surrounding the poor and minorities and immigrants is abysmal. Education is completely underfunded at the local level- not underfunded for admin/chromebook providers/ed tech companies (see corporations). 95% of local policing is a solution to problems that weren't handled by effective social policies. But I am sure that locking up even more kids and young adults will somehow have a better outcome and that those private prison corporations will make someone rich so they can do more "philanthropy" which as pointed out at the recent world economic forum, is just tax avoidance with a pretty bow on it.

Doesn’t matter, prices are still higher than before and won’t go down from here.

We have more murders than Baltimore. And murders are way down in almost every other big city except DC where they’re up almost 40 percent.

Hopefully we realize that we have completely screwed up in our goal to “be nice” to criminals and we start enforcement again so that innocent people can stop suffering.

So. Republicans want criminals to go to jail. Democrats want criminals to shoot each other and let the city streets sort out the issues. I'm glad I do not live in DC!

Citing Hillary Clinton is not the best tactic for winning an argument.

Hillary still has not recovered from losing the Presidential election to Donald J. Trump. In fact, based upon recent interviews, it appears that her bitterness has increased over the years. Unfortunately, she is no longer relevant.

Perhaps not to get murdered (on the same murder pace as 1997) or have a gun stuck in your face and my car stolen (carjacking up 100 percent from 2022’s skyrocketed rate).

Change. Making our city better. Why do you want to stick your head in the sand?

Improvement! Our leaders wanted didn’t start acting until there was some political pressure put on them.They were happy to sweep it under the rug. Of course republicans also love any opportunity to bash dems and their policies, but I say let them do it so long as it lights a fire under the @sses of our government.

End game? Bashing? What’s the point about talking about anything? You raise awareness and build momentum and support toward change.

What is to be gained by pressuring the morons who run our government to prosecute criminals?

Uh, fewer murders? More children making it to adulthood? Better lives for everyone?
