I would love to see how much the millionaire celebrities coming out for Caruso because “Los Angeles is a mess” (there is visible poverty) have contributed to helping their neighbors
“Dasha is dating Louis CK!” You bolt awake in the mountains of Carthage. You are not online. It is 217 BC. You are the general Hannibal, and you have changed your mind. The future must not come to pass. Rome must burn.
Reminder as we enter election week in LA… if Rick Caruso gave a shit about homelessness in LA, he would have been using his $4 billion dollars to help over the last several decades.
He’s a land developer. Owner. And property manager.
He’s the 1%. And he has his own agenda.
Sharing this with a little reminder:
Bats 👏 are 👏 not 👏 pets!
We are a wildlife rehabilitation and sanctuary organization. Statlers age and prior use as an education animal was the only reason he was this comfortable around humans!
A quick primer on crime coverage:
1) Just as people began paying close attention to the midterm elections, Fox and right-wing media outlets went all in on crime.
Fearmongering works:
OK violent crime rate: 458 per 100K
NY violent crime rate: 364 per 100K
OK murder rate: 7.25
NY murder rate: 4.11
% of Oklahomans who say crime is most urgent issue: 5
% of New Yorkers: 28
More Americans today say we’re in a recession than did two months ago, and in that time the economy grew at a rate of over 2% and created over 650k new jobs. Heck, even gas prices decreased.
I don’t know how to explain that expect that campaigns and media influence perceptions.
