If you hate thieves, you should love shoplifters. The real thieves are at the top scheming more ways to fuck the poor.

If you're concerned about theft, this is objectively correct - Walmart steal more through wage theft than shoplifters steal from them.

Similarly, in terms of harm done, stealing even a flatscreen TV has an imperceptible impact on the Walton family, while stealing wages from an employee that's so underpaid, their wages need to be supplemented with publicly funded food stamps is crippling.
