You’re saying people will steal because they can? Do you? Small theft is not exactly hard to get away with. It’s a lot a easier than most professions, but then a lot of engineers and scientists don’t get inti the business for the money. People do difficult things for the hell of it, as long as they arent punished for it, and sometimes even if they are. Nature takes the oath of least resistance? Fucking really?

The reason surveillance is increasing, is because the NEED to steal, is increasing. And hence spending more to prevent ot is making more sense.

Food isn’t optional. If you decrease wages, theft goes up. No matter how hard you police it.
