Gang of EIGHTY crowbar-wielding looters in ski masks ransack California Nordstrom and fill 25 cars with designer goods in raid lasting less than one minute Approximately 80 thieves wearing ski masks stormed the Nordstrom store in Walnut Creek, California around 9pm Saturday night Witnesses say the large group raided the Bay Area store in under a minute Two employees were attacked by looters who punched and kicked them while another was pepper sprayed All three were treated for their injuries on scene At least three suspects were arrested in connection to the raid, with one even taken into custody at gunpoint Police say the raid is not connected to the string of nationwide riots that took place over the weekend in wake of the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...re-organized-raid-lasted-just-one-minute.html
Every riot after the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict for the next coming years will hilariously be blamed on the Rittenhouse verdict. Its already been done twice here at ET. By the way, those that were caught after raiding Nordstrom...were all Republicans including the one that was armed with a gun...a native of Wisconsin visiting relatives in California (sarcasm). Joking aside, shoplifting is skyrocketing since inflation hit with a storm although it has been really getting bad for many years now. In San Francisco, out of control retail theft was cited by Walgreens as a major factor in the decision to close 17 stores in the last five years. wrbtrader
'Bidenflation' has been caused by all the Biden free money handouts. Only going to get worse as he gives away even more. As well as closing oil pipelines that is pushing up the price of oil. Shoplifing in San Fransico rocketed when the stupid Dems decriminised shop lifting for amounts under $950.
I thought Biden took office in 2021 ? Who was President the prior 4 years that wanted his name of the first checks sent to Americans and setup the unemployment fiasco during the 2020 lockdown...was that Biden ? Yet, you're correct that San Francisco is a shoplifter Paradise although I'm sure its related to the decriminalization of that < $950 dollars although I do remember my only time in San Francisco (1994)...I watched a bunch of kids raid a convenience store...they practically empty it out in less than 2mins. One kid stopped long enough to get a slurpy. It shocked me enough that I went back to my auto and put my shopping bags in the trunk out of view because I didn't want to be a victim of a smash and grab while I was driving in the city. wrbtrader
Yep and looked what happened to US inflation after he took office: Jan 2021: 1.4% Feb 2021: 1.7% Mar 2021: 2.6% Apr 2021: 4.2% May 202: 5% ... Oct 2021: 6.2% Trump handed Biden 1.4% inflation. Biden has taken it to 6.2% and still rising..
It's a PANDEMIC. You may want to look at the economic stats of prior Pandemics going all the way back to the 1918 Influenza Pandemic. Typically, inflation associated with Pandemics is short-term (declining) before rising but the Pandemics that were prolonged (extended because people failed to follow public health policies)...those inflation numbers were ugly for the economy. This Pandemic is obviously a lot different and there were clues about it last year in the fall of 2020 that had many worried about 2021 before the Biden Administration. I just don't think Biden administration could fix it because there are too many Covidiots, not concerned about how their actions will / have been impacting the economy. Keep in mind, although its a inflation record for the past 30 years...its also a record in Europe too and Biden is not the President in any particular country in the Eurozone especially when the inflation numbers begin going up in Europe last year. This year it leaped, I think, like 4.3% in August for the U.S. while it leaped about 3.4% in the Eurozone in September. Here's the bad news, as long as this Pandemic is encouraged to continue by countries freaking out about those not vaccinated... it's going to go from bad to worst before it gets better. I'm not an economist but American's and Canadians have managed to set records for their savings account and are eager to spend money no matter the rising cost of goods... My point, the Biden Administration didn't start this problematic inflation crap. They just can't get enough people to believe in the public health policy to control the Pandemic especially when the Delta Variant showed up. It could be much worst, you could be living in Venezuela with like a 28% inflation rate...expecting to continue increasing because of the Pandemic. We need to solve this Pandemic...if not...we're going to be fucked for many years to come. wrbtrader
