      @@EMPI75 Just don’t travel to these woke cities. The US is a massive country with so much more to us than these doomed, woke, fallen cities. Our National Parks, for instance, offer sights you can’t see anywhere else in the world and are free of the crime. There are other cities here that aren’t woke, too. Florida has many to choose from, Branson Missouri is a fabulous choice for families. People think the only thing America is is LA and NYC. They’re but 2 teeny dots on our huge, great country! If you want to know if the area is safe or not to travel to, just overlay the Biden vs Trump voting record map, lol. You’ll see how small those blue dots truly are and how much America has left to offer free of the woke rot. Go anywhere else in the country and you’ll see how much LA and NYC do not represent or speak for the rest of the country.

The economic fallout from the California commercial collapse is gathering momentum and will cause serious damage in the economy in the rest of the country. Currently the feds are managing to intervene to manipulate the economy and quietly support the banks that are heavily invested and suffering huge losses in California commercial real estate. But once the election is over and the losses continue to mount, this manipulation will no longer be sustainable.

      The area looks like an open air mall with a Gap store and all kinds of other lower end goods, not to mention the types of people you see there now ever since the riots in 2020. This also makes people not want to go there. However, this is not all due to crime or high rents. Internet shopping has helped create this retail ghost town. The companies leaving and taking away people's salaries are making more online with less overhead.

    I remember back when Obama was President. He had a fundraiser in Beverly Hills. The Entertainment "News" was interviewing an American film producer that had made a large donation to the Obama campaign and had attended the dinner and fundraiser. When the producer was through singing the praises of leftwing causes and how great Obama was, the interviewer asked him about his next film project. He stated that they had a new project in the works and that they were going to start filming in a couple of weeks in Vancouver, British Columbia. A perfect follow up question would have been, "Here we are in Hollywood, California, the movie capital of the world, why aren't you filming here, with an American film crew instead of Canada?" Well, we all know the answer, don't we? The very policies this guy was fundraising for, sucked for his business.
