#2> During this time to help combat this issue, we increased our investments in security measures in stores across the city to 46 times our chain average in an effort to provide a safe environment.”
I wonder how they arrived at this number of 46x.
46x the chain average of single minutes spent reviewing security staff resumes?
46x the chain average of security camera photos sent to LEOs?
46x the average number of bic lighters placed further back? No, up more? No, up and back higher, like where you can't reach? No, they can really jump that high, so up higher?

I don't get it. Are you making a joke that's gone over my head?

#6> "This is a sad day for San Francisco," Safai said. "We can't continue to let these anchor institutions close that so many people rely on."
This is the conclusion reached by that spokesperson?
I guess the solution is to outlaw closing private stores in areas where they are needed. How outrageous that they should try to turn a profit there while the people need their goods /s
Literally sounds like a chapter from Atlas Shrugged, except in real life

It's not his most artful turn of phrase, but if you read the context of the remarks, I think Safai is saying "we can't continue to let them close" as in "we can't continue to allow these conditions which are forcing them to close," not as in "government should mandate that they stay open."
