2020 is a year we all rather forget, but simply cannot. It was a year that saw murder rise in the United States by 37%. We can thank the states who released prisoners early, and of course, the manufactured COVID-19 pandemic for these statistics.
Murders have skyrocketed this year, as local governments have become softer on crime. In the 57 major cities for which data are available, the murder rate is up an average of 36.7%. Murder went up in 51 cities, and down in only six cities. Murder is up 74.1% in Seattle, 72.3% in Minneapolis, 55.5% in Chicago, 54.1% in Boston, 39.2% in New York, 34.5% in St. Louis, and 30.4% in Los Angeles.

- Why is this not national headline news?
- Why is this not the main point of discussion right now?
Instead of discussing the things that matter, the things that are real. We discuss a virus that in reality, has had very little impact on our world. Only the news and governments would like us to believe otherwise.
It seems we have reached a point of no return. 2021 will eclipse 2020 in all aspects, as we said last year. Finance will become a major concern in 2021.
