I was going to QT the gaslighting nonsense from Michael Hobbes about how organized shoplifting is a myth, but found out he blocked me sometime today. Image
I guess I said shoplifting is bad.
Or maybe he was sad I said Europe is poorer than the US.
Anyway, Michael Hobbes: organized crime shoplifting is “essentially an urban legend.”

Chesa Boudin: Criminal justice reform isn’t the problem, it’s organized crime. We need to work together to solve it.

It’s kind of wild that we’ve put deodorant and shampoo behind lock and key and exposed retail employees to harassment and stress instead of just locking up the 300 people doing all the theft.
Visible social backsliding and disorder is great for the police unions and tough on crime pols. It seems like the criminal justice reform folks might want to consider this trade off. People don’t like disorder. If 300 people are really responsible for 1/2 the theft…
You don’t need to pretend every antisocial psycho is Jean valjean. The cause of criminal justice reform is almost surely best served by jailing the truly anti-social 300 before voters demand a general crackdown

Both EV enthusiasts and haters dramatically overestimate how much charging and public charging infrastructure matters for daily use.

Before buying an EV, I made this mistake too. But the thing about an EV is you always leave home with a full tank so *very rarely* charge.
I have 40k miles on my 2020 Tesla. I haven’t been to a super charger yet this year.
Looking at the Tesla app. It looks like the last time I was at a super charger was 6 months ago and aside from a cross country road tip last may, i have been maybe 3 or 4 times in the last year.

I’m guessing Erick has spent more minutes at gas stations than I have charging. Image

My question is how do you solve the crime / open air drug markets / social collapse problem in SF?

You have absolutely horrific conditions across large swaths of downtown and the mission and I’m really at a loss for how to address it.
You’ve got open air drug markets and fences for looted goods.

You have beatings and stabbings on the streets. news.yahoo.com/amphtml/beatin…
You have major retails closing since their employees are being harassed by meth addicts and they couldn’t stop the looting. sfstandard.com/business/downt…

Most of this is just perennial "is some huge amount of cash really poor" debate, but the thing that jumped out to me is the assertion that "regular overseas holidays" were part of the middle class experience in the 90s.
Passport data from the census doesn't support this.
And sorry to the surprising number of Canadian tourism officials replying to this, but when someone says “overseas trips” they aren’t talking about Canada.
If the poster wanted to say "a trip to mexico every few years" he would have said that. Instead, he specifically said "overseas" to imply something further afield.
