None of those countries have an unstable economic future with over 130 percent debt to GDP ratio (a ratio that is steadily increasing (with no plans to slow it down)
Why do you think the US Government is coming down so hard on crypto as an alternate currency? If people stop buying into the Ponzi, you know what happens.

It made their life better
At what opportunity cost? Working off a debt you owe to a bank has an associated cost.
The average American will pay $130,462 in interest fees over their lifetime.
There is also the intangible cost of the stress associated with being a debt slave.

@Vegasgiants
Eh, I fundamentally disagree with you on that. The reason why I chose to not become a debt slave for some bank is because I saw how unhappy people were around me as they seemed to chronically make terrible spending choices with the unearned borrowed money. As a young guy, I walked daily by a payday loan debt shop, and the people using that shop seemed absolutely miserable.
Like I said, you will get a better answer from Libertydream.

Have you ever borrowed money?
I'm probably a bad example for this discussion as I never had a credit card, and the only Debt I have ever had was a car payment one time over my life even though I could pay it all down just because I wanted to have a credit score instead of no credit score in case of an emergency. I throw every credit solicitation I get in the mail into the trash.

Again, marketing problem, or people leaving would not report crime as one of the top reasons for leaving.
but the important part here is to understand the proportionality from this research: murder is 2,571 times worse than larceny,” says Milnes.
That's a rather weird and arbitrary methodology for that report you cited. I am pretty sure the people in the poll I cited made a much different calculation.

Here is some nice MSNBC crap to veg over Fanchick,
MSNBC's Ruhle added that city residents do not feel safe despite efforts by local and state officials to address things like subway safety, specifically citing fears that New York City could become like San Francisco. The West Coast city has become a focal point for complaints about crime in cities, with SFGATE reporting last month the rates of violent and property crimes had risen in August and September this year compared to the same time last year.

@Double_R
That’s nonsense. By far the biggest reason people are leaving is the high price of real estate which is the exact opposite of your narrative. If NY was the shithole you pretend it to be people wouldn’t be willing to pay so much to live here.
Dude, you seriously need to take your hate-tinged glasses off for a hot minute and re-read post 23. You will see I agree with you.
The only person using the word shithole here is you.

Even in your best attempt to argue in good faith you still can’t help but to caricature everything I just said.
If I wanted to do that, I would have pulled a Cathy Neumann and say "so what you are really saying is (X)"
I just asked a question. I'm sorry if you felt it wasn't a question.
and unfortunately fear and disgust sells. They’re just giving their audience what it wants.
Agreed, which is why CNN hosted Trump (again)
My unanswered question was whether you thought Democrats in New York that are leaving (the ones polled) actually watch Fox, nevermind believe Fox.
Cause I don't watch Fox either, which is why I pulled up that poll.
You probably have watched more Fox than I have, truth be told.
But setting that aside, you keep pretending this is all about crime and terrible leadership
Not at all, you keep skimming over my point that it's a marketing problem. Do you know what that means?

Why don't you go look up what he said and his WH releases about the CARES bill. Even MSNBC had to cover the garbage rhetoric for ratings. He practically slobbered all over that dildo of a bill.
It’s laughable to think Trump could say those words even with cue cards and a teleprompter in front of his face
Oh you could definitely see his eyes moving right to left. There's no mystery about that at all...

Fanchick Translation: Trump is a Republican, and history will remember some obscure Congressman over Biden when the country falls apart.
Also Fanchick translation: Trump sounds like a Democrat.

On March 27, 2020, former President Donald Trump signed the CARES Act into law during a ceremony at the White House. Flanked by key lawmakers and administration officials, Trump put his signature on the legislation, marking its official enactment. The signing took place in the Oval Office, the iconic room where presidents often sign significant bills into law. As cameras captured the moment, Trump expressed his support for the CARES Act, describing it as a historic and unprecedented relief package aimed at providing economic assistance to American workers, families, and businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The signing of the CARES Act symbolized the government's response to the economic challenges posed by the pandemic and signaled a commitment to providing financial relief to individuals and entities affected by the crisis.
Fanchick translation: It's a Democrat law.

Fanchick translation: Happy Trump signed it.

- "We're delivering much-needed relief to the American people with the signing of the CARES Act, a historic and unprecedented stimulus package."
- "I'm pleased that the CARES Act includes direct payments to hardworking Americans. This will provide immediate financial assistance to families during these challenging times."
- "Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and the Paycheck Protection Program in the CARES Act will help them keep their doors open and workers employed. By signing the CARES Act into law, we are sending a clear message: help is on the way. We will protect American workers and businesses during this difficult time."
- "Our focus is on saving jobs and supporting workers. The expanded unemployment benefits and other provisions in the CARES Act will provide relief to those who have been impacted by the pandemic. The direct payments included in the CARES Act will inject critical funds into the pockets of hardworking Americans, providing immediate relief and support."

@cristo71
- CARES Act: The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, signed into law in March 2020, was a significant stimulus package aimed at providing relief to individuals, businesses, and the healthcare system. It included measures such as direct payments to individuals, expanded unemployment benefits, funding for small businesses through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), and support for healthcare providers and testing.
- Paycheck Protection Program (PPP): The PPP was established as part of the CARES Act to provide forgivable loans to small businesses affected by the pandemic. The program aimed to help businesses retain employees and cover essential expenses like payroll, rent, and utilities. The loans would be forgiven if certain conditions were met, such as maintaining employee headcount and using the funds for eligible expenses.
- Economic Impact Payments: The CARES Act authorized direct cash payments to eligible individuals and families. These Economic Impact Payments, also referred to as stimulus checks, provided financial assistance to help individuals cope with the economic consequences of the pandemic. Additional rounds of stimulus checks were later authorized by subsequent legislation.
- Expanded unemployment benefits: The CARES Act expanded unemployment benefits to provide additional support to individuals who lost their jobs due to the pandemic. It increased the weekly unemployment benefit amount and extended the duration of benefits. It also introduced Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) for self-employed individuals, gig workers, and others who are not typically eligible for regular unemployment benefits.
- Funding for healthcare and vaccine development: The Trump administration allocated significant funds for healthcare providers, testing, and vaccine development efforts. This included investments in research, distribution infrastructure, and partnerships with pharmaceutical companies to accelerate the development and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines.
Additional legislation and executive actions were taken to address various aspects of the crisis, including funding for schools, eviction moratoriums, and corporate welfare assistance to specific industries impacted by the pandemic.
Fanchick translation: All of this was for FDR's basic unemployment insurance.

Every quote the OP article claimed was in the report was...get this...ACTUALLY IN THE REPORT.
Instead, radical leftoids resort to source shaming because they are too lazy or too intolerant to actually read the source report. Chat GPT was right, you should cross check information before trusting authority, especially the kind of authority that lies repeatedly to your face.
The OP article accurately cited quotes directly from the report, which undermines the baseless accusations made by radical leftists. It is disappointing that instead of engaging with the information presented, they choose to engage in source shaming, which reveals either their laziness or intolerance to read the source report. As Chat GPT mentioned, it is essential to cross-check information and not blindly trust authorities, particularly those who repeatedly deceive and manipulate the facts.

Different fact-checking organizations may have varying methodologies, priorities, and potential biases. It's important for individuals to consider multiple sources, including a range of fact-checkers, to obtain a well-rounded understanding of media bias and accuracy. While academic and journalistic sites may refer to MediaBias Fact Check as a resource, it is also advisable to exercise critical thinking and independently evaluate the credibility and reliability of any source, including fact-checkers. Considering a diverse range of perspectives and sources can help foster a more comprehensive understanding of complex issues.
Relying solely on the trust placed by top academic and journalistic sites in MediaBias Fact Check may present a potential pitfall. While it's important to consider the opinions and assessments of reputable sources, it's also crucial to maintain an independent and critical mindset when evaluating information.
Here are a few points to consider:
- Diversity of perspectives: Academic and journalistic sites, like any other sources, can have their own biases or limitations. Relying solely on their endorsement of a fact-checking organization might limit exposure to diverse viewpoints and alternative assessments.
- Transparency and methodology: It's essential to understand the methodology and criteria employed by MediaBias Fact Check. Familiarizing yourself with their process can help you determine if their approach aligns with your own standards of objectivity and accuracy.
- Critical thinking: It's always beneficial to develop and apply critical thinking skills when evaluating information. This involves cross-referencing multiple sources, fact-checking claims independently, and considering a range of perspectives. Doing so can help ensure a well-rounded understanding of a given issue.
