At some point, people are going to quit calling the police, and instead either deliver their own private justice, or they’re going to find an alternative informal course to take that the government is not going to like. Private security forces that supplant and overtake the government-run police are not out of the question, and I believe that they’re still in California law.

I don’t give it too much longer before people grow impatient with it all, and decide to hire some thugs to come clear the streets around their businesses of the derelicts, who will be carted off into the wildlands and abandoned like so many pets that later turn feral and prey on the locals, who then shoot them dead.

You don’t want to do the job of maintaining order in the streets, Mr. Man? Someone else will take up the job in your stead. At which point, the locals will begin wondering why they’re paying taxes, and Hey! Presto!, we’ve got a preference cascade and a revolution in public administration going on.

“The public hospital where Fairley was born is now named after Mark Zuckerberg.”

That’s got to be near enough the last straw of gentrification by the plutocrats of the progressive oligarchy.

Hospitals should be named after Catholic Saints, Jewish mountains, so to speak, or have solid WASP names like [Insert City Name] General.
