Comment on ‘It’s organised looting’: UK in grip of a shoplifting epidemic, say store owners

And I bet that same community rails over the unfairness when the company does a blanket price rise to compensate for the equipment losses. Good job guys, stick it to the man!!

Of course, but there’s taking action and there’s shooting yourself in the foot

The price will raise regardless, because thats’s how monoplies and price cartels work. They just blame their price gouging on the people trying to survive, same as always, and rubes with latent goosetepping instincts believe them, same as always.

If they had done that I would hope my community would immediately steal everything not nailed down.
