    The majority of shoplifting is organized effort to sell shit online or to fund a drug habit. Why because only a drug addict will spend more hours stealing than you do working and he will by himself steal more than 40 casual thieves because he’s motivated

      Seems pessimistic.

      What about the people who can’t afford to live and need to steal to eat? Those downtrodden because some rich CEO asshole decided to try to replace them with AI, and they lost everything being unemployed and having the price of everything shoot through the roof for no goddamned reason?

      What about those people?

      I’m not saying that there aren’t people who steal to fund their addiction, but that’s not the only motivator.

      We’re all humans.
