Crime Ridden War Zones
The wealthy are reveling in their giant mountains of money, but meanwhile our society is literally coming apart at the seams all around us.
The stock market has been hovering near all-time record highs, and for those at the very top of the economic pyramid these may seem like the best of times. But for most Americans, the “good old days” are a long distant memory.
More than 70 million new claims for unemployment benefits have been filed over the past year, poverty is absolutely exploding all around us, and crime rates are shooting higher at an unprecedented rate.
In fact, one study of 34 big U.S. cities found that their murder rates rose by an average of 30 percent in recent months.
A study by the National Commission on Covid-19 and Criminal Justice found that murders increased by 30% across 34 large U.S. cities.
In some areas, car-jackings, robberies, shootings, sexual assaults and violence have become so common that it seems like crime literally never stops.
Unless you have a death wish, there are certain parts of Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Chicago, Philadelphia and Baltimore that you should never enter night or day. If you doubt the veracity of this statement, just go wander the streets of the worst neighborhoods of those cities and see what happens to you.
