No one shoplifts formula to feed their own baby, they steal it to literally scalp it to those who actually do need it, at a fat markup, after conveniently draining the store’s supply so they’re the only source.
They’re not Robin Hoods sticking it to the Big Bad Corporation. They’re profiteering scumbags.
I’ve seen stolen wares and goods being sold on street many times before. They arent scalped as that implies charging more than the retail price, they’re sold for significantly less than the retailer, often at a fraction.
And just because they sold baby formula, doesn’t mean they don’t need to sell it to buy food and gas.
I will side with the have nots doing what they can get away with to survive over the Alice Waltons choosing to live like modern Pharoahs on our backs and never being satisfied with their immoral dragon hoards every time. The owners have bred this desperation, and bribe our captured government to maintain it in perpetuity for their exclusive benefit. Look to the nordic countries, this isn’t how we have to live, scraping and subsisting, it’s how our owner class demands it be so they can run up their ego scores, competing with one another while seeing us as subhuman batteries for that sociopathic game.

Bold assumption that no one shoplifts baby formula to use it
There will be people who are desperate enough to do so (I’ve even known a few)
The amount of people I’ve known who have stolen food for themselves or their kids is more than those who haven’t
