I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

What are you even talking about! I am saying it is a delusional fantasy to suggest Russia is going to invade European countries like Poland, Germany or indeed the UK, which is the insane drivel currently being promoted in support of a disastrous arms race.

Nope. Doomer nostalgia about a fake past in which "all families were single earners & they all owned homes!" is the reactionary sentiment. Telling the truth is always better for the left.

Viscerally negative and personal reactions to this on Bluesky suggest some folks’ distaste for profit hungry tech bros may distract from assessing prediction markets’ value at making predictions that help a wide variety of people pursuing a wide variety of goals

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

Point taken, but would you not be curious as to why all those sources are saying that? Like, what’s in it for all the mainstream and internet media to gin up a falsehood that everything is less affordable? Wouldn’t convincing everyone that money is tight be what businesses *wouldn’t* want to do?
