ROEvember is Coming

Apparently. Inflation high again, market crashing ( down around 4% just today), and Graham cares about the specifics of abortion. The pathetic economy and soaring inflation is a GIFT to the stupid ass Republicans who choose to focus on a subject that 70% of America is against them. If KANSAS hasn't taught them something, can anything?

I just don't think this is a problem that originates with the US administration
This is a worldwide phenomenon
The entire planetary economy is suffering for several reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with Biden.
Virus in China affecting the supply chain and the Russia Ukraine war. The war is the biggie. What Biden does is a pittance to these 2 factors.
Yea the stock market sucked today
But it was no surprise to me
Because I followed London before today's opening. If it was sucking there, it's gonna suck here. It's a planetary economy.

There’s reasons that have nothing to do with Biden and there’s reasons that have to do with Biden. Money printer continuing to go brrrr while GDP limited had something to do with Biden, us paying more than Europe combined to Ukraine does and I’m not so sure the entire Ukraine-Russia situation has “nothing” to do with Biden either.

You have got to be kidding me! As far as crime goes, I don't live in a 'state', I live in an area, or city, or county. NY is not on the list because of the dozens of Red counties that somewhat offset Blue NYC, Buffalo, and Rochester! Same concept with California. Take St. Louis (Democrat) out of Missouri and how do you think the statistics will look? Please tell me you actually don't believe that Louisiana is unsafe because of the rural Republican counties and not New Orleans and its slum suburbs?

Then why are Blue States with much more cities and much higher population density, let's say NJ, not at the top of the list, the whole State is one City?

Versus Red States that have a handful of cities (if they can even be called cities)?

Louisiana is unsafe because of poverty meshed with Red policies (easy access to guns, poor human services, and no abortion -literally illegal now-). Sure the people in some of those areas may identify as blue, but they are operating under red policies.


However, your interpretation of the list is wrong, its based on per capita (population scaling), so it does not matter if a State has a bunch of empty "red counties", it does not effect the population stats. Overall population is what matters (divided by number of murders in 2020).

New Jersey is 15% black. Louisiana is 32%.

That sounds right, but it has nothing to do with murder rates. Policies of the state do.

Color has nothing to do with crime
There are many countries in Africa you can safely visit as a tourist
Mauritius, Ghana, and Botswana are overall pretty safe to visit.

A lot of righties are extremely pissed at Lindsey Graham for…. being honest about the GOP’s position on abortion.

Can’t imagine why they’re so angry !
