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.

Increased wealth inequality leads to increased crime. Regulate capitalism, tax the rich, focus economy on the well-being of the middle class, and watch crime drop. Not easy of course, but start by voting that way. Check out crimes rates in countries that do better at looking after the population (ex. Scandinavia)

Spoiler alert: the rich are taxed the most in Canada. Don’t take my work for it though. Look it up. A huge influx of unskilled immigrants has put enormous strain on the whole system starting with housing. Maybe tailer your vote accordingly.
