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?
The boring answer is probably just local news chasing the resentment-based attention of boomers and petit-boug scum
Big brain answer is :porky-happy: wants more cop funding to prepare for the next crisis of capital
idk anything about this, but there was a good tweet “I hate online shopping cause you can’t steal”
Local news is STILL shouting about how thieves are ripping the catalytic converters off of people’s cars
