What the actual fuck are you talking about? There is no other city in this nation where people leave their cars open. Not a single one.

You’re either trolling or so disconnected from reality it’s terrifying.

This is one of the most intense responses to a comment I've ever had and I was just mentioning an observation of my life experience lol, I don't understand where you are coming from with this.

It is a more common problem in certain cities, I'm not denying that but that doesn't mean it's rare in other places. I didn't know it was that much higher there though, that does make those top cities outliers.

Wtf are YOU talking about?? What are you basing that on? I have lived in multiple cities where many people leave their car window down so it doesn't get broken. Even suburbs!

I am baffled by this exchange right now haha. Is there some kind of study that has shown no city has smash and grab crime like SF? It's common nearly everywhere in the US. Are you trying to say SF is a crime-ridden hellhole like no other?

The first point about leaving your car open, people do that everywhere, car break-ins are prevelant across the country.

There are very high housing prices but also high wages, though yes it's worse than a lot of the country as far as inequality. The bay area is more than San Francisco though, have you spent much time in the area? If there were more autonomous Waymo cars in cities this wouldn't be the only time it's happened.

I wasn't being totally serious, it's true the bay area is significantly more racially diverse than the US as a whole, but the issues and political atmosphere in the area isn't so far removed from the general population.

I have driven across the US multiple times, in what way is it not? The bay area is a lot more than San Francisco

Often the RVs in places like OP is referring to are dilapidated and don't run, with tarps on them, not connected to water or power. Essentially a small shanty house in a slum so I guess it depends on your definition

They can buy whatever they want haha I didn't say I care, I was just saying the article title could be accurate, people spend money without knowing much about the purchase all the time.

The US is owned by the wealthy, and they care about nothing but profit, but this type of accident is so easily avoidable, it shouldn't happen anywhere in the modern era. Even the most exploitative and cruel entrepreneur shouldn't be allowing workers to die in this way, even with a heartless perspective it is a cost that should be avoided for a business.

Pushing workers to the breaking point over time makes sense to me from the 'evil employer' perspective but I can't see it doing any good to allow them to die this way. People won't be so outraged over long-term disability from horrible conditions, but their sons dying is the sort of thing to push people to make lasting change.

In 7th grade a friend read that book for class, he was normally a very cheerful and joking sort of guy. After a few days of reading it he suddenly had the most serious and somber demeanor I had seen for a 7th grader.

If it was possible the entire company should be charged with negligent homicide and dissolved for these kinds of patterns, but they probably will get fined or pay a settlement, so it's just a cost of doing business.

At my work place, with a shop full of dangerous equipment, 20 years ago a person was killed using a lathe and we still hear about it and have extensive safety procedures specifically because of that, and no one else has died or been critically injured since.

Many average consumers probably don't specifically know what 'spatial' means, or what defines a computer vs a phone or whatever. People with too much money do spend 3500 carelessly, I have known a few of the types, and for the latest Apple technology I could see plenty of people buying it without even knowing what it really is.

They didn't say it was reputable, just remarkable, which doesn't mean it's good or accurate, just that it has had a place in the media sphere for a while.

Well that's the thing, the haters don't think queers and non-white people are human.

She could ride in an anonymous tour bus, harder to track, she could even have a security convoy, and still save money and emissions. Billionaires are murdering us all, I have no sympathy for her or anyone with her wealth if they take private jets on trips that would take two hours to drive.

I haven't seen anyone argue that the militants that attacked Israel aren't legitimate targets in a war like this. I have doubts about the reports that they specifically targeted civilians more than military points or that there were orders to attack civilians. Even Israeli news has reported that many civilians killed on Oct. 7th were most likely killed by IDF.

I'm not forgetting that, I pointed out that multiple groups have been attacking Israel. Yes, resistance fighters have used terrorism against Israel and bombed civilians, I'm not condoning these actions, but the people fighting for freedom from Israel don't have many resources at their disposable. Struggles against Apartheid and Nazi occupied France for example also resulted in civilian deaths.

But it's not just Hamas being slaughtered, all of Palestine is targeted by the IDF. There are other groups besides Hamas fighting. And there is one side who is stealing land and killing record numbers of children and aid workers, and has been for decades.

Why do you think Israel was attacked to begin with? Do you agree with Israel's reason for attacking but not Palestine's? I would say the same but in regards to the attack on Israel.

Why would you choose Israel? They have already killed more civilians than Hamas has militants and has given no sign of slowing down, they have dropped over 20000 bombs, they aren't trying to kill individual terrorists. Even people in Israel are turning against the IDF and Netenyahu.
