We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

Americans are less likely to be victims of crime than they were 30 years ago
The overall trend in both violent and property crimes has been downward over the last 30 years.
Americans in the 1990s were at least twice as likely to be victims of crime as they are today. This is also true at a global level. While we don't have consistent data on theft and assaults, we see that global homicide rates have gone down in recent decades.
This is not necessarily how the public perceives it.
The polling agency Gallup has conducted numerous surveys asking Americans how they perceive changes in crime rates since 1993. In 23 out of the 27 annual surveys, the majority said that they believed crime rates had increased from the previous
year.

Perception is reality and fears about crimewaves are lucrative opportunities to justify putting more people in cages and selling the public on carceral solutions to socioeconomic problems.
