Not yet too busy shitting himselfHas Biden held a press conference to brag about the Dow?
But not sure what the point of your post is

And it really didn't occur to you that "nationwide trends" never have been evenly spread throughout the country? Are you also confused at why a shit penny stock dropping doesn't tank the S&P?I think the issue is that people like you (who don't really care about reality as much as advancing a party's messaging) are constantly shifting the level of gov't responsible for various issues depending on the point you're trying to make.
The interesting thing to me is that while it seems to logically make sense that lower levels of gov't (state, county, city) would have more impact on crime, crime trends tend to move nationally. The increase from the '60s to the '90s was nationwide, and the decline from the '90s was nationwide. Similarly, the spike in 2020 was nationwide, and the decline that has followed is nationwide. I'd guess that local variations from the national trends are due to some mix of chance and governance (across all relevant levels), but it's even hard to work out the precise mix there.
If people were trying to be honest about evaluating state and local gov'ts, they'd probably start by looking at variation from the national baseline (e.g., crime was down X% in Year but X%*Y in Region so it's possible that Region's policies were better/worse than average). But most people discussing this kind of thing don't bother to look at numbers or rates of change at all.
Have someone who can read better explain my post to you.And it really didn't occur to you that "nationwide trends" never have been evenly spread throughout the country? Are you also confused at why a shit penny stock dropping doesn't tank the S&P?
At least someone who understands how weighted numbers work better than a finance bro. Woof.Have someone who can read better explain my post to you.
You need to be able to understand before you can comment meaningfully.At least someone who understands how weighted numbers work better than a finance bro. Woof.
I mean you just thought in the very last post that crime rates all move uniformly, so maybe take your own advice every once in a while? Sorry if you think that's a "personal attack", but that crime happens in some places more than others is like day 1 stuff.You need to be able to understand before you can comment meaningfully.

OK, but nevertheless, we tend to see trends move nationwide.Sorry if you think that's a "personal attack", but that crime happens in some places more than others is like day 1 stuff.

Dow Crosses 40,000 For First Time In History
Dow Crosses 40,000 For First Time In History
It’s the first time in the blue chip stock index’s 128-year history that the Dow crossed 40,000, another milestone in 2024’s bull market—driven partially by Walmart’s stock surge.www.forbes.com
The Dow Jones Industrial Average made history Thursday, setting the latest impressive milestone for 2024’s red-hot stock market.
The Dow crossed 40,000 for the first time in its 128-year history Thursday at about 10:30 a.m. ET, gaining as much as 90 points (0.3%) to a new all-time high of 40,000.54.
The Dow, which tracks 30 of the most valuable U.S. public companies across a gamut of industries, is up 6% this year and 23% from its October bottom, reflecting the positive shift in investor sentiment over the period.
Boosting the Dow on Thursday was retailer Walmart, whose shares rallied 7% to an all-time high after reporting first-quarter earnings.
Other contributing factor is a positive inflation report over the previous two months.
