“New FBI data confirms previous indications that crime in the U.S. declined significantly in 2023, continuing a post-pandemic trend and belying widespread perceptions that crime is rising,” NBC News reports.

“The new fourth-quarter numbers showed a 13% decline in murder in 2023 from 2022, a 6% decline in reported violent crime and a 4% decline in reported property crime. That’s based on data from around 13,000 law enforcement agencies, policing about 82% of the U.S. population, that provided the FBI with data through December.”

2. True, but good luck convincing anyone of it.

Not when there are many, many industries that rely on your fear. Their bottom line depends on it. And, they will not stand for any decline in your fear. Never. So, yeah, the rates are dropping. How do you convince these million dollar industries to just slow down on production of whatever it is that helps you with your F E A R?!?!

3. It is worth a try. The good thing about people not liking Trump

or Biden is that they are looking around. Maybe they can't stand Fox. Maybe they'll see that crime is down if people like you and me keep talking about it.
