St. Louis is the third world because it has chosen to be the third world. It will get worse. Fun thought experiment: do policies which functionally end local law enforcement improve or weaken the tax base in the areas in which they are implemented? Step 2 in "Defund the police" is "we...

Not to derail this any further, but on Youtube there is a physical penetration tester named Deviant Ollam who does a ton of stuff on physical security.

It's been 21 years since I've mowed grass in anything but sandals, but I will not do it without eye pro. I could live with a few toes mis...

I don't mind shady actors being shady....there isn't really a way to prevent it. What I cannot stand is the government stepping in to put us on the hook for their losses when the tide goes out.
