Not only Chicago, but Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans, Trenton, St. Louis, Detroit, Flint, Newark, Atlanta, Washington DC, New York City, ... are ALL about to completely fall apart.

Don’t forget Houston.

During my interview with Kevin Barrett today, I talked about the increasing violence and chaos in American cities. Citing the crack epidemic of the 80's, Barrett said the murder rate was even worse back then. I pointed out other indicators of decay or barbarity, such as mob shopliftings, violence on buses and trains, cars plowing into store fronts during robberies, gangs smashing jewelry store glass cases as their owners look on, and homelessness on the rise everywhere. The US is in much worse shape than in the 80's. There was still a lot of wealth, confidence and optimism in the 80's.
