More about corrupt Federal Agencies...

[Mas-sa-suta]

The FBI recently very quietly 'updated' the 2022 violent crime statistics on their website.
Yes, the old data reflected a 2.1% decrease in violent crimes in the USA, and was touted by dead Joe in his 2024 SOTU address as representing the Biden-Harris administration's 'tough on crime' policy.
Only one problem. It was a big LIE!
The FBI's revision shows that somehow, the Bureau missed:

1,699 murders
7,780 rapes
33,000 robberies
37,000 aggravated assaults

The revised data shows the INCREASE in violent crimes
of about 4.5 %.

The Bureau has to this point refused to comment on the 6.6% change.

Can anything emanating from this corrupt-to-the-core enterprise be trusted?

I don't understand overlooking 1700 murders. Granted I'm no expert on FBI reporting procedure.

They won't talk about it.

Mass, this whole crime reporting system used for decades can be labeled "garbage in, garbage out" if you believe Ramsey Clark's book Crime in America written back in the 1960s.

Read the book back in the day as Clark hit on a couple of my hot buttons at the time, civil rights and pacifism. Found the book fascinating because at the time I was a systems analyst for a large company and was sensitive to how statistics can be manipulated.

Mass, the controversial Clark can generally be described as a liberal. However, in reading about him think you will find some of his passions to fit your philosophy along with others at The Cooler not fond of either GWB or progressives.

Clark is definitely one of a kind.

Mistakes on this scale are unprecedented. That’s what makes it noteworthy.

Confidence has been lost in gov since Covid

Confidence has been lost in gov since Covid

Not only government.
Trust in medical professionals has fallen from roughly 70% in 2020 to a troubling 40% today.

Imagine, less than half of American healthcare consumers, which is everyone, trust their provider.

i'm not surprised.

I'm not a firm believer in 'coincidence '.

How coincidental is it that every reporting 'error' was favoring the corrupt Biden-Harris administration?

Why?

Because it's for profit?

Or do we just trust nothing anymore? We drink information these days from a fire hose and we're not very good at it. As an aside, I trust my doctor and health care providers. To not do so would introduce further insecurities and worries I just don't need. Do I know I'm but pawn in game of medicine? Yes, but what else can I do?

bureaucracy. the way things are done. i spend a ton of time in the hospital. a week every three months ish and i can tell you that i have very little faith and it's not in any actual doctor it's in the system, operations, etc. it's hard to explain

My best guess is Betty at the Bureau forgot her glasses and missed a zero or two when adding the numbers on her calculator.

In my community, a number of us have been building our own parallel society of faith-based providers. Since February of last year, our primary care is provided by a Wellness based collaborative practice consisting of an O.D., holding a Family Practice certificate, a Neurologist, a Family Practice MD, and a coordinator. It is fee for services, with no insurance accepted.
Yesterday, my wife and I were scheduled for a 5pm appointment. Through no fault of his own, our Doc was held up in a meeting and our appointment was canceled.
His offer to make it right?
We have a 10am appointment Saturday.
He is coming to our house!

I walked away from over 35 years at a Family Practice at IU Health
to go with people I trusted.

But that's not scalable Mas. However, I applaud your efforts.

That's nice. Seriously.

I beg to differ. We have a similar apparatus in Auburn.
