FUCK ALL SHOPLIFTERS!!
People who defend shoplifting from stores. I had a minor debate with someone who was pridefully going on about how we should steal from stores to affect the profits of the CEO and “The Man”.
I had to inform them that stealing from stores won’t necessarily affect the payroll of the corporation. It will only harm the stores and the employees inside. Because each and every store is operating on a budget of their own and what they sell determines said budget.
So if groups of people decided to steal from that store, sapping up the budget and hurting sales, then it’s going to hurt the pay of the people working there. Making shoplifters look both like an asshole and a dumbass in one.
So you defend a corp taking advantage of poor people because poor people did it to themselves.
Despite the fact that there is empirical evidence that when a Walmart is opened in some towns, local businesses are priced out, wages are reduced in that town and money is funneled away to the corporation instead of being spent locally.
Poor people don’t want to be poor, the work available to them has shit pay. Should millions of people just move away from towns when a Walmart opens up? And where would they go? And how would they afford to go?
