I would be surprised if Louisville didn't have a higher murder rate than San Diego.... 

San Diego is one of the safest major cities in the US. Its murder rate is half that of the US and significantly less than Louisville. San Diego recorded only 35 murders in 2024. Louisville recorded 143 and Louisville is half the size. Even most property crime in San Diego is below the US average. Keep in mind this is a border city on the busiest border crossing in the western hemisphere.

Sounds about right.... it's been over 10 years since I've been in San Diego, but it's about as safe and desirable a major city as there is in this country.

It’s COVID redux. News is making the King look bad? Nothing for it but to kill the messenger.

The thing is that, politically, so much of how people view the economy runs off of vibes anyway... and like Biden before him (who never could outrun 9% inflation in 2022 despite many good jobs reports), his vibes are in the toilet. 

Also similar to COVID as well.... people built an impression of him, and he never did outrun it (even with Operation Warp Speed and some other successes).

Thump basically threatens to nuke Russia and it gets pretty much zero coverage.  Wild times we're living in.

In a more sane world, he'd be 25th'd out of there... just seems like he's decomposing in real time

When your fans won't hold you to any kind of logic or consistency standard at all, you are embarrassment proof.

Huh...I always thought Detroit-Windsor was the busiest border crossing?

I think when the auto industry was cooking between Southern Ont and MI, Detroit-Windsor was busiest in term of $ value going back and forth.
