WOW. Look, being in the country without "authorization" isn't even a crime. It's an administrative matter. Don't go implying that actions are somehow worse when someone who took the risk of moving to a new country does them as opposed to someone who won the birth lottery.

I mean, who even steals anymore? These people are so out of touch.

These exist in retail space now, but you can't go there. DashMarts are full-service general stores that delivery drivers stop at to pick up orders. It's like a ghost kitchen but for Dollar General. If they'd open up a "civilian" window then I'd visit every day.

Violence is okay to perpetrate, but not to respond with. A violent person will probably get it out of their system quickly. If you fight them, though, that creates a feedback loop that won't stop until someone is injured or dead. Just let people express themselves and everyone will be fine.

The shrink from "forgetting" to scan things is how they pay you.

Most policy decisions should put people in prison, laws be damned. We have to reign in corporate overreach while we still have a government to do it with.

The delay gives you time to arrange a refund from Visa/Mastercard or to make an insurance claim, if you're a business. You don't really have to lose anything from theft. It's just a business expense for your insurance or card issuer.

People don't need "rehabilitation", they need help. Nobody would need to shoplift if they could afford what they need. Prices should always be indexed to the customer's income. That's it - make it so everyone can afford things, and crime ends overnight. It works for healthcare. People with insurance pay for those without. Why not for groceries and TVs?

This is another example of the poor being punished harder. A desperate mother who steals repeatedly will reach felony levels and spend years in prison or face deportation, but a rich teen who steals for fun will stay below felony and get away Scott free.

I'm totally with you! These are huge societal problems we have to solve, and nothing can get better until everyone is taken care of.

Organized crime or a disorganized black market supply chain aren't desperate.

Peak COVID never ended. It's more important now than ever to stay vaccinated, maintain social distance, and mask up.

Law is the recorded decisions of those with power. There are ways other than legislation to create law that we're only just beginning to explore.

I swear that the only thing that draws people to this industry is the desire to escape their home village. It certainly isn't the quality of conversation with like-minded tinkerers. It's just losers like you who think a big paycheck for playing with Jira means you're the smartest boy in the world. God help us.
