Unemployment is at a 40 year low and the bottom 2 economic quintiles of Americans increased their wealth the most during the pandemic.

Of.course, it has nothing to do with the bail reform legislation and not prosecuting "low.level" offenses.

Also there are zero consequence for crime for most. No cash bail, never a trial date.

A lot of people are making noise about that aspect. I think people are forgetting that change is constant.

Yes the bail reform isn’t the best, it wasn’t always like that and it won’t stay that way. Want it to change sooner? Pick up the phone/starting that email to your local representative. ( not directed at you just making a general statement because I see a lot of people bring that topic up here & I wish they would bring it up to the people who matter ya know )

Change is inevitable but if you want the change to happen sooner you have to demand it and be smart about who you’re demanding it from.

It won’t change until after the election. The governor made that clear. I can only wonder why.
I feel horrible for people in retail. It’s literally every day that some of these stores are getting hit. Sometimes 3 times in a day!
