Thoughts?

quote:

The reporter continued, implying that there is ancestral guilt about stealing and colonization at play in this “moral panic.”

Judkis wrote, “America is a sticky-fingered nation built on stolen land, and its current moral panic is about shoplifting. It’s not just a worry in Columbia Heights. All over the country, from sea to shining CVS, there are concerns about petty theft.”

She said it has become a “political talking point” even though the data behind this crime spree is “murky,” as she described. She provided her evidence, stating, “Theft has gotten worse in some cities but better in others; it’s either underreported or overexaggerated, depending on whether you’re asking a corporation or a bureaucracy.”

Good to know the tribes didn’t take land from each other. Oh wait, they did.

I guess she has also never heard of the Ten Commandments.

They can’t write this horse shite with a straight face.

Basically she admits that in some cities it’s a huge problem and in others it’s not.

Jacksonville, Fl doesn’t have this shite.

San Fran does.

I wonder what the problem is.

Because very few hot girls are liberal, most are traditional conservative.

See the thing is, are you stealing milwaukee drills, designer clothes, iphones, luxury and named brand products for resale or are you just not scanning every food item at the self checkout of a Walmart. I can sympathize with a single mom of 2 working her arse off not scanning all the deli meat to fight inflation, I have zero sympathy for those smash and grab retail operation, F them.

ETA: I know why they are single moms of 2, it’s just would you rather a billion dollar worth walmart pay for those kids food or our tax dollars, because I promise you, someone will pay, No Child Left Behind shite.

The businesses that experience heavy losses from shoplifting will eventually have to close. That means job losses for the employees.
