If you still use :reddit-logo: , there’s a huge panic about cross border car theft. I think :citations-needed: did an episode about this phenomenon, but local news rarely gets blasted in my face so heavily for a sustained period of time. Am I seeing another astroturf campaign? Is some bullshit being pushed that I haven’t heard about yet?

I don’t think they think or plot that far ahead to purposely use state security as their own loss prevention. I think more likely this stuff just gets the boomer ratings because it confirms boomer views. And they kind of have to keep those ratings to sell those commercial spots advertising drugs and weird ab workout machines.
