The 10 most dangerous cities in the U.S., according to a recent (Oct. 1, 2023) study, in ascending order: Cleveland, OH; Alexandria, LA; Little Rock, AR; Pine Bluff, AR; Birmingham, AL; Detroit, MI; (tied) Memphis, TN & Saginaw, MI; Monroe, LA; and Bessemer, AL. And guess which ethnic group is the majority population in every city except one?

All hope abandon, ye that live in California. After having lived in the (not so) Golden State for nearly 40 years, we finally gave up on trying to adapt to the "progressively" worsening conditions. Which? Ever increasing taxes and bonded indebtedness by the left-wing (Democrat) state government; adding more benefits & services for illegals (oops, I mean undocumented immigrants). Governor Gavin (The Nuisance) Newsom is still stuck in the 1970's, knowing only how to increase taxes and the size of government. Although California has the highest corporate, personal, sales and gasoline taxes in the nation, infrastructure is crumbling. But at the same time, the legislature decided to fund the "high-speed rail" train to nowhere pork-barrel project, which ballooned from its original budget of $25 billion to nearly $70 billion, at last count. Air pollution, urban sprawl, homelessness and gang violence are all out of control. Plus, California is simply running out of water sufficient to support a population of nearly 40 million people. We said, "Enough!" and relocated to *******, and have never had any cause to regret our decision. Our adopted home has a much smaller, less intrusive state government, along with modest, reasonable taxes. And the violent crime rate is miniscule compared to CA. People here can still leave their cars unlocked at the local shopping mall--I don't, too many years of living in CA, I guess. Any middle class people that still persist in staying in California deserve what's coming to them.

Oh, you mean "the 1%" that controls over 1/3 of the wealth in the U.S.? "The 1%" that controls BOTH major political parties, and also controls ALL of the legacy media outlets and newspapers? "The 1%" that opposes affordable, universal healthcare for ALL Americans? "The 1%" that conspires with big business and big government to keep the Federal minimum wage artificially suppressed at $7.25/hr since July 24, 2009 (first year of Barack Obama's administration), when, adjusting for inflation, the minimum wage should be at least $15/hr? "The 1%" that decimated our manufacturing base with NAFTA and other job-killing legislation, and that allows illegals from 3rd world countries to freely enter America and further depress the local job market(s)? "The 1%" that promotes global DEpopulation through eugenics, fluoride, vaccines, GMO, war, drugs and arms proliferation? You mean THAT "1%"?

Well, the easiest âoutâ might be to simply head south. Specifically, (Idaho, Montana, Wyoming) take your pick. Depending on which Canadian province you currently reside in, the move might not be too difficult. All three places mentioned have low(er) taxes, small(er), less intrusive state governments, and relatively affordable cost of living. Plus, theyâre close to the border, making visits to family more convenient. Common language (unless you speak French), similar culture(s), and mostly friendly, welcoming people. Yeah, you would have to put up with a dysfunctional federal (U.S.) government run by morons, but most of us donât really interact with it, so we generally can ignore it (except for federal income taxes). Câmon down!

This entire scenario about the U.S. somehow breaking apart into differing geopolitical factions has its origins from Marxist philosophy, which has, as one of its stratagems, the goal of exploiting the internal contradictions of capitalists societies. Going all the way back to the 1950's, we can find a communist plot to exploit black people. See Manning Johnson's 1958 book, "Color, Communism and Common Sense" for a complete treatise on the subject. BLM, Antifa, Democracy Now, the Black Panthers, Democratic Socialism and other similar groups are simply modern iterations of older social movements. These plus the "woke" and "Green" nihilist philosophies all serve to accomplish the same goal: destroying the cohesive social fabric of the USA. If the Russian and Chinese can't defeat the U.S. militarily, then they seek to destroy us by other means. Only a united America can face down these enemies of freedom.

 @tank-slushy4727 The ONLY problem? Dude, did you actually understand my original post? If not, allow me to refresh your memory:
"The UAE/Dubai continue to commit serious human rights violations, including arbitrary detention, cruel and inhuman treatment of detainees, suppression of freedom of expression, and violation of the right to privacy. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) continue to deprive stateless individuals of the right to nationality, impacting their access to a range of services. According to Human Rights Watch, the UAE detains those who criticize authorities, including hundreds of activists and academics, and Emirati laws discriminate against women, migrants and LGBT individuals. Flogging and stoning are legal forms of judicial punishment in the UAE due to Sharia courts. As a result, the UAE routinely ranks near the bottom of many international measures for human rights and press freedom."
The ONLY problem? You gotta be kidding.

Sorry, Charlie, but money talks. And if you, like most of us, haven't a whole ton of money, then Andrew and others like him aren't interested in us "little people." Some free advice: move to a low-tax, low cost-of living state (MT, ID, WY). We did and we're quite happy with the results. Or, if you don't like colder winters, learn some Spanish and move to Mexico.

Face the facts: wherever and whenever you have government(s) run by fallible, selfish human beings, you also have the potential, if not the likelihood, for tyranny. I prefer to take the attitude expressed by famous sci-fi writer, Robert A. Heinlein, in his 1966 novel, "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress":
"I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do."
