Did someone say that stealing is not bad? Did I miss that statement?
Just sick of people defending stealing. I had friends shop robbed over and over and their livelihood gone and they ended up homeless themselves with their children. It was heartbreaking. Poured their entire life savings into their store.

My (rhetorical) question in this case; do you think they were shoplifting because they wanted to (stick it to the man, for thrills) or because they needed to?
These people barely make minimum wage and get treated like s***t. It's unconscionable. These people deserve better, shoppers deserve to shop and feel safe.
This is why I only shop online now and it breaks my heart that small business owners have to feel the brunt and will struggle to put food on the table for their family. Can't believe it's not common sense that stealing is bad.

This was the point the Illegal Naked Short sellers were exposed. They were bankrupting companies and almost succeeded with AMC, GME, and TSLA. Almost costing thousands of jobs and crippling the commercial retail sector in the process.

Not surprising that NC Rs want to increase their seats in Congress not just by 1, as gained by the Census, but by as many as 3, when they already have a 8-5 majority. Guess the courts will just have to map districts yet again.

Redistricting should NEVER be partisan. Shame on BOTH parties.

Most murders happen within families and among people that know each other. The police just show up at most murders to investigate and try to piece things together. South Charlotte doesn't have less murders due to a better police presence for example..... that area of the city shares the exact same police force. The communities in general have less broken families, less domestic violence, less drug problems, less solving disputes with gun violence, et....
The elusive things is figuring out how to fix up the tragic situation that exists in some households. Fix parenting. Fix family dynamics. Fix poverty. The suspects that killed that 3 year old and sprayed 150 bullets into a house are HIGH SCHOOLERS. We have 14 year olds that are murdering people in this city. We have kids joining and organizing into gangs within our city high schools.
My friend was murdered in Charlotte and killed for 100 dollars. She did not know her attacker and she joins 44.1% of the people who do not know their attacker. No amount of social work could have prevented the murder. The shooter was a armed felon drug dealer.

Here is a story from WFAE in June which states that the CMPD budget is being increased by $10 million this year. What defunding are you referencing? Help me understand your perspective.
Can't take no for a answer like my Child. If someone does not want to talk to you, they don't want to talk to you. YOU are the one that initiated the conversation, NOT me. Go try baiting someone into a nonsense argument. Again, bye.

Yea, I was wondering if your statement was in reference to actual policy or just propaganda.
Bye.

Just now, kermit said:
I guess that is a no?
It's a "I have concluded my conversation with you". Need any other confirmation/interpretation?
-
Just now, kermit said:
So you are saying that there is policy that is reducing the CMPD budget and reallocating the money to social services?
Bye.

Is there an active effort to establish alternatives to traditional policing in Charlotte? Please elaborate.
Sure, more social workers will surely cut down the murders and violent crime

Charlotte's homicides tend to be concentrated in the crescent and in lower income areas. NoDa, Plaza Midwood, South End, et. can end up with a surprising homicide in their neighborhoods as you have a collision between higher income households and economically challenged areas within blocks of each other. For NoDa for example, there have been 9 homicides in the last 180 days within 2 miles of the neighborhood core. Violent crime can still happen in the higher income areas, but it is more rare in economically "uniform" areas -> such as 0 homicides in last 180 days in Ballantyne, South Charlotte, et.
Homicides last 180 days:
The leaders in uptown are too occupied reimagining and defunding the police department to probably care. It's heartbreaking that it's the lower income areas that bear the brunt of these policies.

Unpopular opinions: The CCRs imposed in newer developments to "preserve property values" are mostly like the old redlining. Also, for most "gated communities" the security is theater and cursory at best - designed to keep out the honest or those that "don't look like they belong here."
Obama's Martha's Vineyard community is gated. Maybe you haven't been to 3rd world countries where people there do not have the privilege of having the police show up to every call, I have. My friend's house in Guadalajara is gated and has bars on the window. Their security has thwarted 2 burglaries. Asheville has already stopped responding to certain crimes. Violent crime is surging in Charlotte. Can you really fault someone for trying to to protect their livelihood and children?! You are free leave your doors unlocked and windows open, but don't force others to compromise their safety.

Sounds like you had your mind made up about inflation. Given that, what response were you hoping to get from your post?
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. That's how I positioned my portfolio. In hindsight, I should have expected the replies I got on here and probably should not have posted it.

I like how you post something in a discussion forum, from a bank that is facing more issues then Wells Fargo and almost went bankrupt in 2019, and then when people want to talk about it, you say no....
Like I would take financial advice from random board posters on here than from Deutsche Bank. LOL

@A2. Is that you?
When A2. was here he was "brace for impact" , blue pill/red pill and what not. I went to his twitter account and it was all goldbuggery and crypto "to the moon". I miss that guy. (maybe this is him?)
I'm not A2. I really don't care about what you have to say in this matter though. You do what's best for you, and i'll do what's best for me.

Sounds like Mr Moss's article might have some correlation to this 2016 study in India on that country's historical caste system. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/skin-colour-tied-to-caste-system-says-study/articleshow/55532665.cms
Where in the articles does it say White people have incurable parasites in their mind as Dr. Donald Moss spoke about?

Dude, I am trying to help you self-actualize here:
1) Cash out refi all of your equity
2) Use some of the cash to add a vault to your house
3) Fill the vault with gold, solver, copper, slim jims and catalytic converters.
If you are sure that inflation is gonna crush us like it crushed the Weimer then you have options -- take em!
Let us know how it goes.
No thanks, i'm holding. I'm not selling and then renting and throwing my money away "Dude". I already am getting physical gold and silver. If things really deteriorate here in the states, I got enough savings(gold and silver) to emigrate to another country.

Well, luckily, if you trust DB's concerns, and think the bond market is wrong, all you need to do is go cash out as much money as you can from your house at these low rates, and buy as much gold, silver, crypto, real estate, and other hard assets that you can.
Why should I sell my home at 750,000 now when it will be worth 3,000,000 in a few years? And with the way Congress is spending like drunken sailors, it may go even higher than 3,000,000. As for gold and silver, it's all based on the dollar after the FED removed the gold standard. Much better to own the actual meal than a paper note. With China closing down and seizing BTC accounts, it's reverberating through the crypto market. Other countries could follow the same path.
18 minutes ago, Blue_Devil said:I mean, I posted what I think is going to happen... and stand by... I don't live in a suburb, and I don't commute. I love the city, I love it in the city. I don't live in a box, and I enjoy working from home. Nothing I posted contradicts itself. I believe cities like Charlotte are going to grow exponentially, as we add massive amounts of people here. I believe that's already coming true if you look at Morehead and the growth there, SouthEnd and all the proposed Apartments, etc. Charlottes a young city, filled with Banking. They like going out, and meeting people. SouthEnd actually added more businesses then closed during the pandemic.
And again you're trying to post gotchyas, instead of looking at the announcements from the major uptown employers saying what they are going to do.
SouthEnd is a suburb of Uptown.

"Whiteness is a condition one first acquires and then one has—a malignant, parasitic-like condition to which ‘white’ people have a particular susceptibility. The condition is foundational, generating characteristic easy of being in one’s body, in one’s mind, and in one’s world. Parasitic Whiteness renders its hosts’ appetites voracious, insatiable, and perverse. These deformed appetites particularly target nonwhite peoples. Once established, these appetites are nearly impossible to eliminate. Effective treatment consists of a combination of psychic and social-historical interventions. Such interventions can reasonably aim only to reshape Whiteness’ infiltrated appetites--to reduce their intensity, redistribute their aims, and occasionally turn those aims toward the work of reparation. When remembered and represented, the ravages wreaked by the chronic condition can function either as warning (‘never again’) or as temptation (‘great again.’) Memorialization alone, therefore, is no guarantee against regression. There is not yet a permanent cure. " -Dr. Donald Moss

People want activity after being stuck in a house for a year +. I think COVID will make cities grow even faster as spending every day in a suburb has made a lot of people realize how boring it all is.

Sky high prices!
Get ready for hyperinflation everyone. The Dollar will be debased.
Quote“We worry that inflation will make a comeback. Few still remember how our societies and economies were threatened by high inflation 50 years ago. The most basic laws of economics, the ones that have stood the test of time over a millennium, have not been suspended. An explosive growth in debt financed largely by central banks is likely to lead to higher inflation. … Rising prices will touch everyone. The effects could be devastating, particularly for the most vulnerable in society. Sadly, when central banks do act at this stage, they will be forced into abrupt policy change which will only make it harder for policymakers to achieve the social goals that our societies need.” - Deutsche Bank

Great, that doesn't stop the fact that every single on of the companies I mentioned said they are bring people back to the office: Apple for example. https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/2/22465846/apple-employees-return-office-three-days-week-september . Google (Which did slightly backtrack after Employees freaked. I am sure the back track will not remain as more come into the office and new hires will have to report to the office) https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/05/tech/google-office-remote-work-pandemic/index.html
Leases are a tax write off. Employees working from home not so much.
Enjoy your daily commute!
My commute is to my office in my home. Building a garden with my spare time. I'm also building equity in my home. Sucks being in a "boring" suburb.

Stealing is wrong. If you can't understand that then I can't help you. We have failed society and our future generations by normalizing and incentivizing stealing.
