Humans work off of incentives and risk. If there's essentially no consequences for pickpocketting and the incentive is quite high with expensive phones and cash potential, the balance is way out of proportion. A good chance of getting your shit rocked brings it a bit more in line.

The possibility of getting shot or stabbed is way out of proportion the other way. That's the problem with America. You can't even give someone the bird when they nearly crash into you without fear of getting shot.

From your own source on "true" unemployment, it's the lowest it has been since they started calculating it. It peaked in 09 at 35% and again in COVID, but all through the early 00s it was between 28% and 30%.

You can't use that number as evidence we "already crashed", because as we've seen in other actual crashes it spikes up to 35%.

Looking at your gear from 2 hobbies ago like, "man, I really need to get out and do [thing] again... Maybe I need to buy some new gear."

What about a masters in engineering and a bachelor's in chemistry makes him even double more qualified? Yeah, maybe if he had a doctorate you could make that argument, but you could easily learn and do as much science work in 6 years outside of a university than you would in a BS and MS program at a university.

Maybe we keep the good stuff in California, but in my wine drinking experience so far, French and Italian wines aren't noticeably better. In fact, all the best wines I've had have been Californian, but that could be because I got it at the winery itself.

Less demand for California wines means they're cheaper for me, that's not a bad thing in my book.

Stick it to us Canada, we sure fucking deserve it.
