Murderapolis?

The drama with all news media today is off the chart stupid, its why I asked. I hadn't heard crime in Minneapolis was worse than normal. Now I've heard places like LA and San Fran downtown is like the zombie apocalypse because of the drug use and homeless.

This is scary stuff: https://www.yahoo.com/news/inside-snapchat-teenage-opioid-crisis-000208967.html

I don't think I would use this as the standard.  While there's a few lifers around, my entire working career has been people leaving after 3-5 years.  We've been trained that there is no corporate loyalty anymore and that you make more money switching jobs than you do staying.

This. If you are in the workforce and under the age of 40, its highly doubtful you'll be working at a company for 20+ years when its all said and done. Corporate America has never been worse than it is right now as far as 'loyalty' goes.....there is none.

People think Minneapolis is a bad city? LOL. Ok.

Most people have no idea. Miami is a garbage city, shit people and lots of crime. You rarely hear anyone speaking English on the streets.  Gotcha headline.....in a world of gotcha headlines.

Is it true they broadcast the Muslim prayer multiple times a day in areas of downtown Minneapolis? That is nuts if true.

Its true.

That's ridiculous. I would feel like Im in another country if I heard that shit walking around. From an even non religious standpoint, its fucking annoying to hear anything blasted over loud speakers, just more noise pollution. That is some liberal horseshit right there. 1.34% of the U.S. population are followers of Islam.

There you go, problem solved,  no need for the noise polution.  Church bell apps for the Christians and whatever that wailing noise is for the Muslims, and all thats left is for people to enjoy the sounds of a million vehicles and car alarms going off...oh and that fucking garbage truck back up alarm...do those guys ever get to that trash can or do they just drive in reverse all hours of the night?

The worst noise pollution today are leaf blowers. Everyone has a lawn service in our neighborhood and surrounding 'hoods so you hear the drone of blowers in the distance sporadically. I have one for cleaning up as well, so I get it, but man they can be loud.  There's an Episcopal church about 5 blocks from my house in downtown Boca....you hear a church bell on the hour (2 bells at 2:00, 3 bells at 3:00 kind of thing). Its a nice faint thing to hear each hour if you are in the backyard/pool...to me that is a lot different than the Muslim Call to Prayer, which is 5 times a day and each one can last 10 to 15 minutes....and is actual prayer.
