Never been to the US other then Hawaii. Never been to Antarctica either but I have heard its cold.
I would love to go California, hopefully will one day, I don't think its a hellhole despite chris249 trying to put words in my mouth. However the reports about fentanyl and drug abuse, homelessness, property crime etc paint a picture of a place with real problems that are being hidden by government via choosing to report or prosecute (or not) them differently.
I think the stats chris249 posted about falling crime rates are alarming because its willful blindness happening not real solutions.

Per your example, your perspectives are based on what you've heard Vs experience at the coal face. Good to know.

Back to California, what is your honest opinion on the falling crime rate. Is it a real drop in crime or just a change in how it's reported.

Your references have the same credibility as a flat earthers.
this took 10s to google
www.pacificresearch.org/what-the-new-california-crime-stats-show/
Among the key findings:
Violent Crime: Violent crime increased by 3.3% compared to 2022 levels.
Property Crime: Property crime decreased by 1.3%, but thefts and property crimes have actually increased according to victimization surveys and industry reports.
Underreported Crime: 28 law enforcement agencies did not report their statistics, potentially leading to a significant undercounting of crime. Cities also may not be releasing fully accurate data, case in point being the recent investigation by the San Francisco Chronicle concluding that the City of Oakland police data "overstated improvements actually seen on the streets" and "compare incomplete year-to-date figures from the current year to complete year-to-date figures from past years."Overdose Deaths: While not included in the report, overdose deaths continue despite widespread distribution of the lifesaving drug Narcan.
....
While some specific crime categories have shown declines and others increases, the overall picture is complex due to underreporting, missing data from law enforcement agencies, and varying trends in different types of crimes.
A question remains: if the NFL can provide up to the minute play by play and same day career statistics for its players, why must California wait 6 months to produce an inaccurate report from the preceding year that raises as many questions as it answers?
Willful blindness, stupidity or dishonesty. I think the leftard brain embraces all three

I cannot decide whether I should have added the apostrophe or dropped the 'a'.
It was not the credibility of the flat earther I was referring to, rather it was the credibility of the references posted by the flat eather.

It's flat earthers'. Apostrophe before the s is a contraction. Doing it right seems to have fallen out of fashion these days.

Thanks mate, I always get that mixed up. But I may remember it now, putting the ' where there's something missing explains it well.

This is such a quandary.
remery loves correct grammar. Yet maintaining correct grammar from yester-year is such a conservative thing to do. And remery hates conservatives.
The progressive's way would be to add a random apostrophe before any s denoting a plural. It is very much de-rigueur today. All the Democrat's are doing it.

Californians have just voted for harsher penalties on crime, doesn't make sense when crime has been falling.
I have never been to California, I don't have experience at the coal face like you, why would they vote for harsher penalties when the current measures have been working so well?
It's democracy at work and the constituency voted to change the penalties for a particular set of crimes. Good on them. It does not mean that the entire state and all that goes on there is a lost cause as you and your doomsday cult friends at FOX propose.
As previously stated California is both the best and worst of places, always has been. You can believe what you will through your screens and collection of stats. I will continue to be there 2-3 times a year as I've done for the last 20+yrs taking on the opportunities California has to offer.

I didn't say it was a hellhole as chris249 dishonestly claimed. I didn't say the entire state was a lost cause either as you claim
What I said was don't vote for progressive policies and then complain about the progressive outcomes. California was an example, in particular the soft on crime laws. You two argued crime was falling under progressive polices, I called BS and the fact the people have voted for tougher laws proves it.
I agree it is democracy at work and good on Californians for finally seeing some common sense and ditching some of those stupid left wing ideological policies.

No it doesn't. You'd need stats to make that claim.
I don't know what they were doing in California but prison in Norway is like a spa club almost with every convenience. The officers are all social workers and the recidivism rate is very low, about half that of conventional punitive incarceration.

Coorect me if I'm wrong. Genius Musk fired 80 percent of Twitter's staff, and now the company is worth a quarter of what he paid for it?
I don't know whether Musk has any effect on Tesla sales in the US, but here he seems to be unhelpful.

It's spelt Correct.
How do you know what Twitter is 'worth' now ?
I'd say it was worth about 1/4 of what he paid for it when he paid for it.
He made his takeover offer at about a 10% premium to the share price at the time which, like many things tech, was probably massively overvalued on a long term basis due to short term speculation.
Now it is private and doesn't report earnings how do you value it ?
Oh - and I'd suspect Musk's "value" of it has nothing to do with dollars.
