I know we are divided politically but for example here in NYC life in general is just getting worse.
Cost of living, rents high, insurance high, food high, gas ridiculous, ect.
Petty crimes are back....hit and runs, speeding, muggings for clothing and phones, car theft, beating up seniors.
Almost every day nationally they are publishing criminal acts committed in the city on the internet.
Attached is a clip of some of the violence that is popping up on a regular basis now.
The Bronx is just exploding with new people and is about to burst.
The clip is from my neighborhood close to the Parkchester train station.
I'm normally civil and get along with everyone / would wait for the cops to show up but this might be the exception...

I live in a blue state and the biggest city. How are things where you live? Better? Worse? Same ole same ole?
Ironically, the death of the Queen gave the country 12 days of respite from thinking how awful everything is. There were North Korea-esque tones to life for a short while. Don't moan about the cost of living - the Queen is dead. But thankfully, the minute her body went in the ground the doom is back on the agenda.
What's weird though is that Brits think its all down to the government to bail us out. During COVID they paid most of our wages for up to 18 months. That changed the mentality of the country, not necessarily for the better. There are now more work-shy people than ever before.
Now they've introduced an energy price cap for 2 years which will help, but have also given $1,000 handouts for the poorest in society which will probably cause more inflation.
The Conservative government, probably more closely aligned to the Republicans have become the most socialist government in my lifetime. I don't think socialism is the answer.
I've always seen imho that what happens over there in Europe eventually happens in the USA as well.
We are allies and business partners.
They "the govt. controlled media" has done a good job sheltering from Americans what is really going on over there.
The funeral of the Queens is the first real coverage I've seen in a long time.
There is one Brittish new channel I know of on cable but most news honestly comes from the internet.
I'm waiting to see "what" false flag event the Globalists have planned for us before the November elections.
We should all prep for a few months supplies at least to weather a situation of losing services for ex.
Sad state of affairs.
