    Wow, you sit there on your island and push crazy narratives that America is a heaping pile of shit. It is not. I keep telling you to stop watching so much TV. I just left Oakland/SF. My company has an office in Oakland and SF. I have a bunch of friends in Oakland. Oakland isn't even in the top 10 of cities with violent crime. I grew up in Cleveland. It was the murder capital of the world when I was a teenager. I travel all over the US. I hire people all over this country. I've placed people in many cities with violent crime. I've had to personally have private security traveling in Nigeria, India, the Philippines, China. But no security in New Orleans which some areas are much more dangerous. Anchorage has a lot of crime, contrary to what most people think.

    Please don't come here crying about crime in the US. You do not know what you do not know. Crime rates have been going down across the US. Crime has ALWAYS been about money. The most dangerous places are the most poor. Parts of Oakland are the safest in the country.

    Crime on most Caribbean islands are higher than Oakland. I've been to all of them and have property in the Bahamas. Show me poverty and I will show you crime. Show me mental illness and I'll show you crime. Show me a shit load of guns and I'll show you a shit load of people being shot by guns.

    When a store in a crime ridden part of a city is closed, that's just common sense, good business. Why would I have a business where there's too much poverty and crime? Sure, blame the crime but it's the poverty that caused the problem. That's urban planning 101. This area of town is horrible, so people with money move out. Then everyone else follows and those rich people move back in decades later, buying those properties for pennies on the dollar, and builds it back up and that becomes the place everyone wants to live. Just follow the money.
    LOL so back to the island thing huh? No one is crying on my side. Many highly intelligent and intellectually honest people have echoed what I have said and they live in the US. Your island comment is just intellectual laziness and is always the response of someone unwilling or incapable to engage in a honest adult conversation, and by definition you are discredited. Don't think I have forgotten that you stated that affirmative action and DEI aren't racist. LOL.

    You are denial of observable reality. Next you are gonna tell me that there are no people living on the streets and tent cities are a figment of my imagination because I don't live there. The videos and pictures of all those people living on the sidewalks are just cheap fakes just like when Biden wonders off at the G7 or the several other times he's done the exact same thing. Ironically you tell me I am watching too much TV. I don't even own a TV and haven't for years.

    You have the right to choose not to believe the shit that's going on. You also can believe the lies you are being told. Many brave souls have made the ultimate sacrifice so you have that ability (right) to do so.

    You don't have to fall off a 3rd story building to understand its gonna hurt. That comment is true no matter where this takes place. On an island or in the US.

    Here is a list of all stores that have closed across California due to crime between summer 2022 and spring 2024.

    • 7-Eleven: In July 2022, the company advised several of its California locations in the Los Angeles area to change their operating hours to increase customer safety amidst a rash of crime.
    • Whole Foods: In May 2023, the supermarket chain announced the closure of its "flagship" branch in downtown San Francisco, which it had opened only 13 months before in March 2022.
    • Nordstrom: In the same month, Nordstrom announced the closure of both of its stores in downtown San Francisco, blaming the changing dynamics in the city market over the past few years.
    • Target: In September 2023, Target announced the closure of several of its stores in California—including in Oakland and San Francisco—over concerns of a rise in retail theft.
    • Starbucks and Subway: In November 2023, two Starbucks stores and a Subway restaurant located on Hegenberger Road and 98th Avenue closed their doors due to car break-ins targeting their customers.
    • Denny's: In January 2024, a Denny's, which had been on on Hegenberger Road in Oakland for 54 years, closed after being hit by a series of crimes.
    • In-N-Out Burger: In the same month, In-N-Out Burger announced its only Oakland store was shutting its doors, citing threat to the safety of its employees and its customers.
    • Macy's: In February 2024, Macy's announced the closure of one its most iconic locations, the store in Union Square, San Francisco, due to a rise in shoplifting.
    • Taco Bell: In March 2024, the company announced it has suspended indoor dining in four of its restaurants in Oakland, and limited it in a fifth store to customers making contactless payments.

    I'm hearing an old Beatles song playing in MY head and brother they nailed it about what's going on today REVOLUTION

    You say you want a revolution
    Well, you know
    We all wanna change the world
    You tell me that it's evolution
    Well, you know
    We all wanna change the world

    But when you talk about destruction
    Don't you know that you can count me out!

    You say you got a real solution
    Well, you know
    We'd all love to see the plan
    You ask me for a contribution
    Well, you know
    We're all doin' what we can

    But if you want money for people with minds that hate
    All I can tell you is, brother, you have to wait


    and the JAN 6th mob TRUMP is the DEVIL antichrist

    ROLLING STONES one paragraph

    Stuck around St. Petersburg
    When I saw it was a time for a change
    Killed the Tsar and his ministers
    Anastasia screamed in vain
    I rode a tank, held a general's rank
    When the Blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank

    I am not going to list them all. You choose to believe the lies. I do not.

Of course you have a bad opinion of minorities. The TV will have you living in fear. You might think differently if you actually lived here. This country is not falling apart like the TV is telling you. We are one of the most prosperous countries in the world. The only people not working are people that choose to not work. We'll be okay even if Biden or Trump is president.

At least not on this particular topic.
