The media hysteria over New York subway crime has gone international.
LOL. Sometimes all it takes is an outside perspective. In two minutes, this British lady is able to explain the entire subway crime panic.
Crime is extremely rare on the subway. There is one crime per 1 million rides. Add as many cops to the stations as you want, there will never be enough to prevent a 1 in a million event. Crime is at near historic lows in New York (and America).
However, there is a rise in the number of homeless and visibly mentally ill people riding the subways, especially overnight. This makes riders feel unsafe.
Instead of correcting the societal problems of affordable housing and mental healthcare, the government's solution is to make riders feel safer by stuffing stations with cops.
Basically this:
Very embarrassing to have a 300-year-old British paper telling people America is a hillbilly country that FlexTapes over its problems

Tesla stock surges as EV maker will 'accelerate' the launch of cheaper cars
Tesla said it would "accelerate" the launch of new models next year, including lower-cost cars, countering reports earlier this month it had scraped those plans.

The IDF already refused to do an investigation because the mass graves are "fake news".
