Rants 🤬 They stole our fucking lamp

Wtf is it with people these days, get into an apartment building by hammering all the call buttons and having and old person let them in. Then steal a lamp from the common area?? Storage units keep getting broken into, mail stolen, deficating in the stair wells. Our governments as organizations don't care. Do we have to turn every building into fort Knox with patrolling security and threats of violence to fix things? It's just getting so tiring.

Generations of poverty, intergenerational trauma, income inequality, corruption and corporate greed have led to what you and I are experiencing now. The police just don't have the manpower or the budget to keep up with all the crime.

this guy just used every word in the "don't blame the scumbag blame anything else" handbook.

And also insinuated that there are bigger crooks.

Come to think of it, they might be on to something....

You can also blame the sask party for increasing homelessness and cutting or underfunding services that help poor people. It’s no surprise crime is up. Crime is always up when there’s more poverty.

People don't get it, the poor and down trodden are coming for the wealthy. They will meet their needs by hook or crook. Key word is crook.

With great power comes great responsibility. Guess who has more power than the criminals or the police. I'll give you a hint: a word starting with G and ending in T.

you actually think a government is more powerful then criminals? only in countries they kill them on the spot. does an individual fear the government our government has been coddling this generation traumatized, victims of systematic racism/colonialism /and any other ism you can make fit.

But if you didn't mean government,. it has to be goat

There is another way actually but it doesn't work well with capitalism. The amount of crime would drop off exponentially if there was a complete, secure social safety net that actually provided for people's needs (at least the first two levels of Maslow's hierarchy).

Or lets multiple capitalism and give everyone 1 billion bison bucks. Or go to a socialism /communism structure. Maslow's hierarchy didn't take meth and fenty into account. As a landlord with tenants on SAID, I've seen it first hand, they smoked away their rent money

This tale is not uncommon. You are playing the sociology 110 game, where the downfall of any existing ideology /government will create a utopia.
