Erica - Did you see the LinkedIn post about business people and billionaires pitching in to do a PR campaign for San Francisco? Their slogans are lame; "They (Heart) San Francisco" nothing but blind people's ego tripping from a big ad agency that doesn't get it. Then they had "We're Open For Business - Bring It On" That one fit nicely with the national news of naked hookers in the streets the other day.

I'm not sure how Larry Baer sees the world, and the Fisher guy, but my sense is they are way out of touch with most San Franciscans who are not wealthy as they are. Daniel Lurie running for Mayor seems interesting only because he's not a phony, but he's also not a man of the people. Renters are the dominant voting block in San Francisco, and they seem to lean heavily to the hard Left. The unions seem to not feel like enough jobs are threatened to shift their support. And Ranked Choice Voting creates a complicated mess.

Words matter. Q: When is a "Progressive" just another Marxist? A: When what they think is progress is tearing things apart, and not fixing anything.

Erica - You backed a lot of info in this article. And much of it was not uplifting.

My perspective is that most people are friendly or at least not out to hurt anyone, but there are also some mean neighbors who make others miserable, and then there are the criminals.

Whoever you are, wherever you are, whatever you are doing, you are safe until you are not. We all want to feel safe even when we are not. Anyone who has looked online can find an endless list of

self defense tools from alarm sirens, to whistles, blinding strobe flashlights, tear gas, and pepper sprays, as well as sharp items. The only thing I always have is a whistle, and when I'm wearing jeans - I have a heavy leather belt and buckle. But I have to tell you - when someone sticks a gun in your face,

your options become very limited. And most people are not trained to a point where they can tell

if it's a pellet gun, fake, or the real thing. Smart people don't want to find out.

The 2A guarantees private gun ownership rights, and unfortunately - police have been responsible for

supporting limitations and restrictions like CCPs that seem to have been declared unconstitutional, but are still in play. Unfortunately - in many cases, the victim may not even get a chance to respond to the attacker who sneaks up from behind them. But if more people were armed, I think there would be more criminals shot. The lack of deterrents make a life of crime safe and profitable.

If we want to have less crime, we need to attack the causes of it, and that is no poverty, it is opportunity.

Is it AB47 that George Gascon and some local assembly person get passed that raised the amount of a felony break-in of cars to $1,000? That bill should be written out yesterday making it a $1.00 limit, just leave our cars alone or you go to jail. Oh - not enough jail space - use tents!

Wokeness has moved to the building trades unions in the San Francisco Bay Area.....

Hi Erica, I'm currently watching you on Viva Frie's channel on YouTube. Great interview!! I just wanted to share a story with you about how the woke ideology has permeated the building trades unions and right into the workplace. I am a journeyman tradesman in the San Francisco Bay Area that was assaulted on the job by an apprentice and was severely injured. I have been out of work since late March when the incident occurred. I just had my 1st of two operations that I am going to need to maybe go back to my career. This story is crazy how it has unfolded. Workman's Comp took 90 days to investigate my claim and determined that I was not the aggressor, I was defending myself, and accepted the claim. The whole incident was on video from the job site we were at. The DA didn't charge him instead charged me. The reason was not enough evidence to charge him with a crime from watching the video. The incident happened in Alameda County. I believe that is a George Soros funded DA. It gets better!!! You can check me out if you like. I am a Podcaster too. I haven't published since the incident. Like I said this is a crazy story that doesn't make any sense to me. If you google my name all my stuff will come up. I don't want to spam or self promote on your channel. I really need some help with this or at least hear the story and let me know that I'm not crazy like I keep getting made to feel by the organizations that were supposed to be protecting me. I hope you are doing well and I appreciate the work that you do and your voice of truth in the community.
