California’s Prop 47 leads to rise in shoplifting, thefts, criminal activity across state
By Barnini Chakraborty | Fox News

*** begin quote ***

California is one of a handful of states that doesn’t hand out plastic shopping bags. To get one, the purchaser has to pay an additional dime. Residents looking to save ten cents and spare the environment typically put merchandise in a purse, backpack or have it in their hand when they walk out, an unintended consequence of which is shoplifters can easily “fit in and walk out” with the paying crowd.

“It’s nuts,” Michelin said. “Stores are going to be forced to lock up all their merchandise.”

*** end quote ***

This seems to be the opposite of NYC’s (Bratton’s?) quality of life crackdown to decrease crime?

Insane!

ADMINISTRIVIA: Rebooting me, the blog, and life

2019-Nov-01 1841 

On October 12, I had a mitral valve repair.

It was minimally invasive and no problems were expected.

Unfortunately, the anesthetic impacted my prostate and it shut the urinary tube.  A catheterization solved that problem.

Apparently, the drugs prescribed to allow my recovery sent my bp and pulse into highs and lows.  Changing them around — eliminate some, change others — seemed to get me back level.

Recovery took longer than I expected and wasn’t as easy as I anticipated.

But, I think I’m back to where I was before I was “fixed”.

The Atomic Bombings Reconsidered

Friday, November 1, 2019

That redefinition of morality was a product of World War II, which included such barbarities as Germany’s systematic murder of six million Jews and Japan’s rape of Nanking. While the worst atrocities were perpetrated by the Axis, all the major nation-states sliced away at the moral code — often to the applause of their leaders and citizens alike. By 1945 there were few moral restraints left in what had become virtually a total war. Even F.D.R.’s prewar concern for sparing enemy civilians had fallen by the wayside. In that new moral climate, any nation that had the A-bomb would probably have used it against enemy peoples. British leaders as well as Joseph Stalin endorsed the act. Germany’s and Japan’s leaders surely would have used it against cities. America was not morally unique — just technologically exceptional. Only it had the bomb, and so only it used it.

November 1, 1945 was schedule for the invasion of Japan.

Who knows how many on both side would have died?

WW2’s “tactics” really ended the protection of non-combatant civilians.

So why should we be surprised that “terrorism” has emerged as the tool of Fifth Generation asymmetrical warfare?
