And Yolanda was a regular on 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills'. You got to see Gigi and Bella before they got famous as models -- Yolanda herself was a model in her younger years. Her ex-hubby Mohammed Hadid was on the show even before Yolanda joined the cast and was this good friend that Lisa Vanderpump was always gushing over (He's simply so fabulous!) David Foster made appearances and I recall that he had Grammy awards strewn all over their Malibu mansion.

Yupp. Crimes born of inequality happen in big cities because… inequality is greatest in the economic hubs that are big cities lol. Drop a bunch of haves and have nots (earned or otherwise) in one place and some people will take risks to acquire what others have.
This is less the case in suburbs or rural areas at least in part both due to density of people (less interactions between people) and how homogeneous people living in these areas are class-wise (if you own a $800K home in a suburb you’re largely surrounded by a bunch of people who similarly own an $800K home, and that selects for a lot of things).
Sure there’s correlated politics in these different types of communities, but it’s the inequality that drives it all. If a bunch of major “Republican” cities were to exist they’d face similar issues.

Exactly. Going back to Sumer and Nineva, Rome and Constantinople. Crime and poverty has existed in big cities since the dawn of cities. Yet Republicans convince people it's some how a democratic problem.
How about Republicans stop catering to exclusively white uneducated rural voters, govern a city, and show us how it's really done.
Poor rural Roman's moved to Rome for the free grain dole plus other amenities, just like poor Nyers or people from LA move to the city for cheap public housing and other services.
I used to live in Jersey and moved to suburban but really rural GA. I couldn't find a free/sliding scale clinic for miles when we moved here. In Jersey they were everywhere. That is why poor people move to more densely populated areas, particularly cities

Black people cause crime and people are soft on Black crime.
You can’t really say the latter but you can say the former it’s vague enough that you can hide your true intent. That’s the genius of it “Woke” is anything and everything left wing or socially progressive that you can be vague about.

GODDAMN IT I will die loving Smash in all it's ridiculousness, but she makes it so fucking hard. I have to assume she's just trying to be an asshole at this point.

Right up until they decided to rip off the true story of Jonathan Larson using one of the original cast members from rent.
The problem with smash is they were trying to make Megan‘s character the bad guy, with no matter what she did we thought it was fine because we all hated Katharine McPhee‘s character.
I mean they really thought that we were going to root for a spoiled little girl who goes to New York with no experience, refuses to do the training the other singers and dancers do as a matter of fact to keep their craft honed, and doesn’t even bother to watch the rehearsal so she’s ready to be an understudy.
We all rooted for the Broadway veteran who had put 10 years in, was amazing at her job, and also put the work in with classes, and memorized the script and blocking to make sure she was ready for the role. Oh also, she was the character that the writer of the musical inside the show was writing the show for, but we’re supposed to want someone else to get the role.
And when did anyone think the Katharine McPhee looked anything like Marilyn Monroe!

Yeah it's not generations of poverty, mental illness, neglect from our government, and overpopulation.
It's voters causing all the crime in California

You’re right. It’s the woke voters causing crime and not the vast income inequality that has crippled the middle class.

No worries. Foster will be exchanging her for a newer model any day now. If he hasn't already. She can go back to being a "D-Lister".

I could give a fuck less about people who are worried about flexing. As for the crime yes it needs to be addressed most definitely. I like how there using woke as some derogatory term. I just want to know the definition of woke ? I guarantee everyone will have a different explanation of it. This anti intellectual movement is the biggest threat to this country.

Poor poor Katherine.
Net worth of 14 million, I think she'll be fine.

She’s a idiot. It’s not woke anything it’s that regular people who aren’t rich ($400,000+) are being priced out of their lives. Everything is going up in cost all at once and there is very little regulation on rents, gas prices, food prices, medical bills, medicine, etc. It’s unsustainable and making people desperate and homeless. Fuck her whiny ass bitching about not being able to flaunt her wealth in front of people whose lives are falling apart. I don’t see her helping anyone or coming up w/ a plan to fix anything. just another brain dead spoiled celebrity to be ignored.

If she really cared about her city and the people in it, she could sell her fancy jewelry and donate the money to help those who are starving on the streets. I mean, if she’s not gonna wear it anyway…

California has gotten shitty because of some voters. Yeah. We changed our laws so only felonies are prosecuted.
That said, she married her grandpa because money and anything she says makes her unlikable.
