Hahaha, 9/10 of the top 10 places with the highest murder rates are red. Try again though (and I don’t even like defending dems, I’m a leftist…)
Edit: goes to show that police are innefective and more spending =/= less crime, moreover, a more policed state is a more paranoid, divided, and racialized state.
Feeling bad for a CEO lol. He bought a company and is now making money off of the backs of laborers, just because he is now (potentially) at risk of becoming a worker again doesn’t make me feel bad for him. Feel bad for the laborers who are victims of a toxic work culture and pressures to perform to the standard of the old CEO (who still holds most of the power, by the way.) And as someone else said, if the CEO had a problem with the company, he maybe shouldn’t have bought the company in the first place. You’ll never get me to ‘feel sorry’ for the new CEO, lol.
Cops are pretty racist though. Like systemically the racism is fueled off of fear of crime. If cops can convince people that crime is on the rise, they get money to do more racism. And the entire system is designed that way. So… take what your cop relatives say with a grain of salt.
This isn’t to say that your relatives are racist, btw, but instead its to say that the institution is designed to oppress, and thrives off fearmongering about rising crime.
