    When I visited a place in Central America this was what the grocery store looked like. Although the guards probably had a lot less authority to just kill anyone, and their faces were uncovered.

    They don't want to defund/reform the police but they'll replace them with masked thugs which implicitly tells us that the police are useless and need to be reformed in SOME way. And of course there's no outcry from pundits about this shit since it isn't a Democrat or leftist doing it.

    Our media has been inching us towards fascism for decades and they finally got us there. Tapper, Bash, Weiss, Murdoch etc... deserve the guillotine as much as Musk, Thiel and Trump do.

    Do it. Send ICE to arrest people in churches. Do it now. Arrest them in darkened movie theaters during the third act. Arrest them in the fancy restaurant lunch hour downtown. Fucking hick fascist fuckwits.

    If October doesn't wipe these fuckers off the map it's time to start packing up anyway.

    Shoplifting going up is a sign of an affordability crisis. But of course Congress won't address that.

    In 2023, the National Retail Federation, a trade group that supports the bill and whose warnings are cited in its text, retracted a report claiming organized retail crime was responsible for 50 percent of the nearly $100 billion worth of merchandise that went missing in 2021. The true number was found to be closer to 5 percent of that sum.

    5% of 100 billion is who gives a fuck, I didn’t see anything

    Psst. If you actually gave everyday people better economic conditions rather than having their paychecks being burnt into expenses they would have far less incentive to steal valuable goods from big box stores.
