Centrist YIMBY. Visited half the earth. Believe burning down migrant businesses to solve racism was wrong. Crime is primary driver of American NIMBYism.

Teams vs Teams (work) is fun too. Classic monopoly power of being able to create terrible user experience and know you are locked in anyway.

It's easy to make fun of them, but the PPP fraud which was extremely widespread in poor communities was just as silly and lead to people getting $10k-$50k for nothing.
@ArmandDoma
There is a class of people raised wealthy who are significantly less capable than their parents. They then infer that those raised less fortunate must be equally less capable than their parents, and create a strawman of someone incapable of basic human functions.

I wouldn't trust what employees in a SF target say. It's easier as corporate to tell them "everywhere is going to be like this", then leave suburban Targets as they always have been.

The justice one should just be looking at an empty field because nobody pays so the players get no salary and moved to America where they could earn a living.

I believed that religion was terrible for society, and we would all be better off in a post religion world.
"Why are you trying to control women's bodies" .
"Wait, why are you trying to transition your toddler?".
Some people need religion.

It's predominantly a misdirection of instinct to protect own children that gets applied to dysfunctional causes when not having any children.

When in city we lived in doorman highrise, so security of home was fine. But after moving to safe suburb, it was when I had to run to supermarket at 8pm and my 4yo said "can I come", that it hit me. I could now say yes.
You get desensitized to disorder in the city.

Fascinating that America's first female president could be someone who slept with a married old man to get a good job.
Imagine explaining that to a 1990s feminist.

That whole topic arose from rich kids needing more and more obscure topics to study to project higher status within their community. That then bled into the mainstream sacrificing the autistic kids of the middle class into a lifetime of medical issues.

My Chinese friends are convinced that China helped rally the summer 2020 violence through social media as revenge for the US doing the same in the 2019 Hong Kong student protests.

The backlash to criminal justice reform will be so severe, we are going to end up with 3x shoplifters doing a decade behind bars again.
Most are sickened by violent people being allowed free.

Google HR asked Google Gemini to identify the involved employees, leading to 28 African American employees being terminated who had nothing to do with the protest.

Every landlord learns quickly that income doesn't correlate with credit quality. Some people always pay their bills, and some don't. How much they earn has nothing to do with it.
@wanyeburkett
Progressives think all poor people are criminals so if they want to help poor they need to be nice to criminals. Reality is most crime victims are law abiding honest poor people. Depolicing hurts poor the most.
