There's something to be said for worsening conditions driving crime but I'm pretty sure it's just understaffed stores can't easily stop shoplifting. I just watched a video of a guy walking into a store, noticing all staff was nowhere to be seen and walked out with a bunch of poo poo with the SF blowhard who posted it going PACIFIC HEIGHTS IS NOW THE HOOD STORE OWNERS NEED TO ADJUST

Jimmy Dore is now a horse paste salesman.
Briahna Joy Gray is now bank rolled by Peter Thiel.

this is an advanced technique if you ever need to get hardwood from there that they charge like $9/ft for: just grab a tag from a 2x4 so you have something to scan that doesn't set off the "hey this needs to get measured" prompt

crime is going up across the board. Rural crime, urban crime, petty to grand theft, homocides, whatever. Now the more conservative or moral panic media is going oh wow see this is what LIBS wanted with DEFUND THE POLICE! Nordstroms is no longer safe!! and all the Nextdoor baby bombers clutching their pearls in terror like it's 9/11 all over again.

libs by contrary are doing the dumb reactionary crt-esque poo poo where they go lalala no it's actually not! crime doesn't exist! actually everything is fine! how dare you? because libs specifically do not want to acknowledge massive declining material conditions and that their boys in charge are loving up just as badly as everyone else predicted. lib policies have led to declining conditions.

so yes, crime is going up and it's entirely predictable in an atomized society of declining conditions. and although left may like to think there's some class conscience component to it, there is not. people don't look at a lovely beater car that they're yoinking the catalytic converter from and think "oh boy i hope this guy doesnt have to drive to 2 different jobs and he'll get fired if he's 5 minutes late": it's just easy dollars. infact, poorer people are easier marks for crime because its often easier to steal from older cars and of course they're a nobody in society so who cares.

crime usually affects the poorer-to-slightly poorer the hardest and most; it's like a backed up toilet in the basement that floods the house with sewage starting from the ground to the attic -- and did I mention the rich are parked in a zepplin tethered 5000 ft above the house?

anyways nordstrom WoW raids are very funny headlines and no one should be worried about nordstroms, but it's just another visible symptom of a country that's gone septic

It's entirely possible this is just wishful thinking, but I get the impression that Matt is extremely unwilling to openly disagree with cohosts and will just sort of ignore or mildly agree with stuff that he'd never actually say on his own. Like when Chris starts talking about Teddy Roosevelt being an epic boss and Matt is just like "yeah"
