ANARCHY in the USA: $100 BILLION a year stolen by brazen shoplifters. Dystopian stores locking away their goods. Police invisible

[Corn Pop]

Obviously all first responders can do is only do there best I guess that's why they get a free red light pass in emergencies, but alot of the time when a crime is commited its quick and fast and done becauae criminals don't muck around and wait for the police to arrive.

Dan Bongino pointed to NYC history, saying Democrats will continue winning office until things get so bad, the public votes in Republicans. But in NYC that didn't happen until people were dropping like flies in the streets, and everyone was getting mugged everywhere, even in nice neighborhoods. Until then, votes keep voting for anyone with a "D" next to their name.

Mayor Guliani restored law and order and for years NYC loved it. But then the memory of how bad it was fades, and Democrats win office again, starting the cycle all over.

As bad as things are in NYC, they still vote Democrat. Same in the murder capital of the world, DC or Chicago. Democrat all the way. Its incredible how persuasive the media is, they keep smearing Republicans (who fought Democrats to end slavery), as racists! It would be funny how stupid people are, if it weren't so tragic.

Walmart I guess closed up shop in Chicago and other places. Theft is out of control that businesses will be forced to close down stores that are losing money from thieves. The politicians won't do anything about it until they find some way to make a profit off of that as they're too busy with their current agendas.

Among other things this shows the deterioration of society. It's just going to get worse with similar politicians being voted into office.

You nailed it, "deterioration" of society because they have gone insane, become cultic. Reality doesn't dictate what they do, their agenda does. If the change is "equitable" or fits some other lefty theory of "fairness", and anyone harmed is "collateral damage" or "they deserve it."

Its horrible things must get much worse before people wake up. Letting criminals run amok raping robbing killing is insanity, not "reparations."

 

[Consecrated Life]

It's an issue that's growing due to a combination of inflation and wage.

If wages , economy, & jobs are all moving in the right direction, why is looting increasing expanding ?

Well if more businesses close shop maybe people will wake up? I don't know. But it's a good idea to move out of the bigger cities as less places to buy food, clothes and whatever else will be more difficult.

The ecconomy is not improving for the everyday person. It's improving for the business class that deals with international affairs. Domesticly it's stagnating.

" the economy is strong as hell " ( President Biden )

Biden touts jobs numbers, falling gas prices: 'The program is working'​

It's working in the sense that some of his ideas have had effects on slowing inflation and that gas prices are stabilizing. Tge issue is beyond Biden or Trump. The ecconomic issue is concentration of wealth. As wealth concentrates its harder for most Americans to be stable ecconomicly. Neither Trump or Biden have solutions.

Trump promised to bring back manufacturing, but he didn't. Biden attempted student debt relief, that failed.

The problem is that in order to ecconomicly help mist Americans, a bunch of rich people that fund both parties would take a hit finacialy.

So I once believed when I was a radical getting tear gassed in Washington. Only those who ignore history can't see solutions.

Calvin Coolidge fixed a near depression by rolling back regulations on business, firing bureaucrats standing in the way. That resulted in a decade of prosperity celebrated as "the roaring twenties". It wasn't until a progressive began reregulation and interfering in the markets, that the crash happened. Yes, he was a Republican progressive. Had everyone rolled back what he did, the Roaring Thirties would be history.

Then John F. Kennedy did similar to Calvin Coolidge, rolling back regulations and taxes. The economy boomed until he was assassinated, and progressive policies returned with Johnson.

Then Reagan rolled back regulation and taxes, and the economy boomed. Briefly our government even had a surplus.

Republican porkers joined Democrats in stopping that.

Then Trump did the same and the economy was booming, manufacturing was flooding back. But the crooks in Washington got rid of him, he may even end up in jail for his crime of opposing endless wars.

My family hit very hard times in the late 70's
My parents never instructed us teenagers to go loot expensive sneakers & gold watches so that we could buy bread.
Are you alleging that this looting of expensive sneakers, and designer clothing is going towards people's water bill, electric bill, insurance bill ?

There is a huge issue with yhis that isn't being addressed. These politicians all rolled back regulations to shake up markets, but an effect that made each one worse than the last was not the "progressive" regulations. What would happen is known in markets. There is a boom and bust cycle. When a new niche opens in a market, or if there is a sudden cash flow a boom will happen. The problem is that the market can not inf8nately grow, so the market will hit its carrying capacity and then competition will start to weed out competitors. This forms a monopoly that involves a large capital owner buying up or dominating a specific niche. The ecconomy warps around those companies. If that company starts to fail the whole system goes bust since everything in the system becomes linked with that company or small group. Inflation happens as the market is less competitive and the only thing yhebUS government can typically do is print money to help slow the bleed. Stagflation is where the ecconomy is fine but investment slows since the ecconomy hit its cap. The cap is there to prevent a bust.

Teddy Roosevelt started trust busting to prevent market stagnation. Wilson and FDR raised taxes to make it more nationally smart to reinvest in the working and poor classes for tax breaks.


Whenever there is a wide cut to regulations we have a couple years of boom, then a large bust.

That's standard market economics. Markets can not grow forever.

No. Looting and mass theft is a symptom thar something is wrong andnis not necessarily the root. Looting comes from usually from wide spread fissatisfaction and alienation.

If an area has large amounts of opportunity ecconomicly, you don't see people looting. The system works, so people work within it. If the system isn't working, and the oppurtunities start to leave, people stop relying on the system.

It's nor as simple as starving people wanting to eat. It's a faith in the system itself.

You need to get out more .
Good economic opportunity is being rewarded these days more than it ever has been, not by smash a grab looting, but by the employees themselves robbing their own employer blind.
That you are unaware of this great percentage increase of inside theft shows you to be not very well informed .
For instance, The companies that have been looted to the bone, were actively offering economic opportunity by hiring people if only they wanted to work ?
Wal-mart for one.
These would rather loot the work.
It's a choice that is undeniable.
The looting just being gravy on top of the government trough they are already attached to like ticks.
At some point you are going to have to figure in greed and laziness to your scenarios .
Curious to me you neglect any mention of the worker shortage all around us for the last 2 years .
I can go my front door tomorrow I know of at least 4 places I can get gainfully employed same day.
And there is a ton more out there is I were to really look.
Companies is my area advertise regularly that want people with no experience who are " interested in learning a skilled trade "
Companies willing to take people with no experience at all, the only requirement being to show up on time every day and train them in a life long trade that can never be taken from them, and make it possible for them to envision even own their own business.
By the way the people who these companies offering these opportunities are the " rich" you are proposing to be looted as well.
My sister is basically a cleaning person in a hospital, who in very short time has proved herself reliable enough that the company has paid two separate $3000 bonuses in the last year because they are afraid of her moving on to greener pastures .
Yet in this same area we have lost two large grocery stores in the last two years to theft.
People just filling their cart to the brim and walking out.
The real world does not comport to your fantasy of everyone wanting opportunity but seeing none.

That isn't history, that is a rewrite of history. Regulation up, economy down.

Its intuitive common sense. If Government demanded 10% of your day be spent jumping through their hoops, you wouldn't go out as much.

If things don't change soon, brick and mortar retail will become expensive, unpleasant and rare. Jobs will be lost. Just as in the wild west, once it gets so bad no one is safe from a bullet, people will vote them out. Until then, the cult of equity and fairness will trump reality every time, and the same idealogues will be reelected.

I agreed that you get a boom. I was pointing out regulations come in response to a bust. The Ma4key Crash of 1929 easy due to regulations, but due to over borrowing in the banking industry to purchase shares. The growth was unsustainable and the market crashed when people started calling investments. Same thing happened in 2008, Glass Steegle was repealed and many banks over invested in realestate until it could no longer be sustained, then we got a bust.

Yes the government can slow growth, but not all growth is good. Ask anyone with a waistline.

I agree some regulations are good. Sustainability is a concept foreign to commerce, which is self correcting by prices going up or down.

This is a tangent, from Anarchy to regulation of business.

There's a commin thread in all the cou tries you mentioned. They were all colonies of the British Empire. So all shared a common law and have a British heritage. Also all those countries have a huge history of moving native populations out and colonizing the land. The British Empire was a big deal up to early 20th Century. After world War 2, colonialism fell out of favor and the US and the USSR usurped Britian's power. China took over most of Asia main land. The Cold war between the US and the USSR caused and East and West Divide up to the 1990s. The United States started relaxing immigration restrictions s with the Heart Seller act. However Middle Eastern, Asian, and Nlack immigrants were still highly discouraged.

Europe formed the EU and is very Diverse. Considering the many mederterian and wester middle East countries that are part of the EU.

Africa is starting to get balance, but die to its long colonial history, it's taken some time. South America and the Middle East had tons of US and EU meddling that caused many issues. Such as military uprisings, CIA intervention, puppet states, and cold war shenanigans.

It's very intering stuff. Also, if you really want a foriegn policy nightmare, look up how the IMF works forndeveloping countries, the Contras, and how Pinoche came to power.

Look at Australias history. White brittish convicts were sent to Australia against there will to build.

Many white australians are from a generation who were sent to australia ny force into labor for petty crimes by the Brittish.
