We've also moved back into a QT cycle. In theory, QT should reduce wealth inequality QE has increased it, but QT is so few used and really, the possible effects not having much "seat time", that there's some danger in QT. None the less, it is THE way to pay down our debt. When people say: we should pay down the debt; that's a QT action, correct?
I haven't figured out yet if QT will benefit the lower classes or only hurt the high end classes.

Really?
California is 17th right behind Texas.

To be fair, normalizing the data is kinda pointless effort when your just making up the numbers anyways.

ADMIN EDIT: Climber quickly removed this after Holeshot asked to keep politics out (Thank you Brett). I have restored it as an example. No action taken.

Hey Brett, Bud/ mods are trying to keep this from getting kicked to the KSP. Possibly/ likely a crossover into political type post. Can you scale back some Por Favor?

Sorry to all of the mods, I bounce back and forth and lost track of which subforum I was in.
I removed my comment.

You didn’t say “MOD HAT ON” so maybe edit your post to reflect an official request. Also, the essence of the post he was responding to was “California lawmakers throw money at poverty problems which is funny because YOUR state (his words) is the most dangerous” followed by bullshit statistics. C’mon man, ain’t nobody believing one is and one isn’t here.
Also, this thread is doing fine without intervention.
ADMIN EDIT: Holeshots post indicated that BUD / Mods are looking at this. The Mod hat on comment is petty hard feelings towards Holeshot. We determine what is political or not. See new post below.

This is way too broad of a question because you have the federal prison system then you have each individual state with their system in which you also have local counties who have, yes, their system. To say the US doesn't have a rehabilitation system just isn't true.
Saying prisoners are 'unique special' doesn't make any sense and I think you missed my point.
A better answer I could have posted is a model that is designed for a specific culture like Scandinavia won't fly here, it's not a one size fits all methodology.

I don’t think your understanding what that says. The only reason CA has the highest total crime count is because it has a ton of people. That blog isn’t even looking at individual crimes, so not sure where you are coming up with that.
I’m pretty sure that entire blog was written by bots anyways, not to mention the entry with a discussion of wall thickness and window glazing for carports make me doubt its connection to reality.
Even so, the second part of that article does actually get the info kinda right by using population corrected data, but that’s basically a copy pasta from Wikipedia.
I am understanding it fine. They looking in whole picture. Things they mention and are not crime, like homeless, fires, mud slides, poverty...etc. And you guys like to talk about disparity, add that to list, CA is pretty high there as well.

The thread has been opened back up.
I have done some soft deleting to provide some idea of what I consider political statements.
We are going to step up the PTrap actions and are discussing the application now in the ModCore.
One mod felt nakedape's post was OK because it was true. That does not make it non-political in my mind and we quickly saw that Climber upped the anti. That post as been restored and thesoft deletion made.
If the PTrap thing is foreign to you check out the definition and current list of offenders here . Some members are close to being suspended so worth a look.
Political stuff became a problem for this community and we decided to separate it from the content here because it was causing problems across the board. Some are very passionate about the State of the State and that is good. We just want to keep those that are not and come for Moto content and basic fun from having to see it. We noted guys like Elmer Gantry never posted again. Too small a pool to be worthy of their time is my assumption.
To keep it separated we provided some guidence (PTrap). All the offending posts are listed there except the soft deleted posts in this thread.
We may update with a more definative idea of what we feel is political, we may not. We are discussing now as noted above.
Some topics like this dance on the political line and are pretty broad to all users so we just don't want to cut that conversation off if we don't have too.
So likely you will see more PTrap actions and less threads being thrown into the Political Sink.
Thanks for reading if you did.

Thanks, Budman!
There has been some good discussion in this thread, it's a very complicated subject with no easy solutions, but we can at least address the shortcomings of some of the stronger actions suggested and perhaps all gain a better understanding of the difficulties in dealing with where things have evolved to in the cities.

thanks for opening this thread again Budman.
A different take on the retail situation:
I went into the Pacheco CycleGear to try on helmets last Friday, there were 3 employees, me and another customer in the store. One of the employees said " retail is dead". If it wasn't for the brick and mortar store I wouldn't have come across an employee that could use their inventory system to find the last small yellow RF-1400 in the country.
Big retail stores are facing more than just theft, that it seems is more than just shoplifting. Online purchasing, High retail rental prices, the cost of keeping inventory in store and the cost of employees are all making retail less profitable.
Shoplifting may be a contributing factor to big retail stores leaving SF but big retail is disappering everywhere.

That link is just plain dumb.
But they do have a per capita ranking further down but it is only measuring two varidables.
