States with the highest increases in average weekly wages over the past year (Q1 2025 over Q1 2024)

1) Hawaii (6.7%)
2) New York (6.1%)
3) Washington State (5.8)

Florida did pretty well at 5.1%.

California came in at 4.2% (a hair above the national average of 4.1%).

Texas lagged behind at 3.1%.

I’ve never once condoned bus stabbing. I’m not sure why you continue to be such an insincere dick about this when I’m generally engaging in good faith with you on it.

On this post, I meant to say "condemn"

which is the basis of your commentary. Horrible thing happens due to policies you support. You're brave enough to say "I'm against bus stabbings, but we also have a prison population problem. I require no changes from my political leaders. I'm voting D."

nsacpi will show up to tell us George Floyd racism is a bigger health threat than covid. He's a useful academic!

I don’t think the Republicans have the answer either, and I don’t think the answer is necessarily to either abandon all rights of the accused/convicted or to do nothing to stop violent offenders. What is so damn hard to understand about my position of needing genuine reform that includes steps to not release violent criminals and protections of civil liberties? Just because the two parties can’t get it right doesn’t mean it can’t be done.

This is 100% the solution - and it would only take a month tops to drop crimes rates remarkably low.

Criminals love your softness.

we can end the vast majority of violent crime with a simple 3 strike rule.

you just won't allow it
 
“republicans don’t have the answer “

Whatever their strategy it’s better than yours. I think we all agree that erroring on the side of safety is paramount.

Do you not? Is your way worth extra needless death?
 
It is worth noting that Red states have a higher homicide rate with the gap growing. And NY City has a lower homicide rate than rural areas. But hey if ruby red rural states have any good policy ideas, whether it be on crime or any other issues, blue states should be humble enough to learn from them.

Oh there he is.

The academic weighs in.

I guess the Ukranian refugee getting murdered on public transport while everyone sat and watched wasn't on the same level of a 16 year old kid smiling at an Indian banging a drum in his face.

But to your point, I am reassured that when I visit NYC, its statistically unlikely that *I* will be the person stabbed that day
