Thought you'd enjoy this one re your soft on crime point. Celia Paddock reports in her JIP substack:
California’s recently adopted Proposition 36, which rolls back some of the soft-on-crime aspects of 2014’s Proposition 47, went into effect midway through December, and the results surprised some shoplifters. The Seal Beach (CA) Police Department released security and bodycam footage of three women in their 20s who casually stole about $650 in merchandise from an Ulta Beauty and then went on to steal a little less than $1000 in merchandise from a Kohls.
When they were arrested, the women were stunned to learn that their previously unpunished shoplifting was now a felony. Thefts under $950 were considered misdemeanors under Prop 47. The video, released on Instagram, warned, “Remember folks, don’t steal in Seal.”
And yes to health care reform. The conundrum is choosing between the vile health "insurance" providers and a single payer run by the same clowns who mismanage the DMV. The latest lunacy we experienced was United "Health" care refusing to cover a charge by a hospital that was not "in network" even though the doctor who practiced only at that facility was in network. When we inquired if he was supposed to perform his services in the parking lot, we were met with an inane response.
