Or maybe we just didn’t have the internet and social media to IMMEDIATELY let us know what is happening where.

MANY cities are MUCH safer than they were 20 years ago.

NYC was COMPLETELY CHANGED by Rudy and is SO MUCH more safer.

Even de blasio has kept on a semi tough police commissioner, shocking as it is.

Things have always been bad and good.

Now we just get to find out the bad real time and in doses we never could before.

Th network news was an hour. They had to squeeze in the worst crimes.

Now we can read ALL DAY about different horrors.

Same tune. Just Multiple ways to listen to it now

Right. In fact, I would go one further, even before the was social media, many community officials did not go running to the traditional media either, to air their laundry. They avoided it. So while violent crimes, rape, abduction, and all these things happened and you knew about them in your own community, you weren’t hearing about them happening across in another town, let alone in some other State. Not everywhere, but I think in a lot of places there used to be a propensity to keep bad news under wraps back in the day.

Yep. Had there been internet 100 years ago, this post title might be “12 ways how your neighbor abuses his cows” with some I would prefer not to know.

Information overload.

I heard a snippet the other day about using “screen time limits” on children; I couldn’t agree more.

I disagree.
Beatles, peace movement and marijuana clowns grew up and became today’s politicians thusly they swung the pendulum into the leftist/ muslim coalition’s hands.
