I'm more likely to complain about the too-often successful attempts by the RW Friends of Covid to literally die to own the libs.

"I thought the economy was recovering under Biden."
Something we can agree on..

" Now you're claiming we're still in a Trump recession?"
I don't remember saying that, so I'll claim that you are putting words in my mouth again. (Here's where you show me your own particular spin on what I actually said).

." Did the economy tank by that much? Of course not"
Employment tanked, badly enuf to wipe out all the jobs created in Trump's 1st 3 years, plus 3 million more.

"DEMOCRATS being soft on crime and hard on the police is producing predictable, repeatable results."
First Covid raised the murder rate. Now it’s changing the politics of crime.
Violent crime spiked across the country during the pandemic, forcing a reckoning in cities like Atlanta.

..."His shooting was part of a steep uptick in violent crime during the pandemic that resulted in a highest-in-decades peak in homicides nationwide, according to data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Atlanta was hit hard; the city’s police department reported a nearly 60 percent increase in homicides in 2020. Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms tied the surge directly to the pandemic, calling it a “Covid crime wave.”
But this crime wave wasn’t like those of earlier decades, which were often concentrated in big cities. The increased violent crime during the Covid-19 pandemic hit everywhere — big cities, small towns and rural areas as well. Where Atlanta and Washington, D.C., reported a steep increase in violent crime, so too did less populated places like Augusta, Georgia and Norfolk, Virginia.
Second, even as violent crimes increased nationally, property crimes and burglaries decreased.
“What the pandemic did was it shifted a lot of these patterns,” Topalli said of the difference in crimes. It owes in part, he explained, to “many more people staying at home, fewer people actually going into places of business … we've seen a drop in those kinds of crimes that we would expect would be affected by that.”

Now that people are "going into places of business", the property crimes are increasing. |
