Crime is so low they forgot what they tags are supposed to be used for!
I just bought groceries at Kroger and at the self checkout they flagged me as a potential shoplifter for having my helmet in my basket
This right here. This right here is why I fucking hate when ppl dismiss surveillance and data collection, eg. “idc if they want to know i went to work and then Starbucks” etc…
They absolutely make assumptions about us based on statistical analysis of the data they have and then the systems they control treat us based on those assumptions, however wrong. Dynamic pricing is now a thing because they know enough to target subgroups of their customer base to price gauge more efficiently.
Information is power and people are extremely fucking cavalier about empowering the most exploitative and cruel ppl in society, business leaders.
“What happened?” are you for real?
Did you not read any newspaper, watch any news, or generally exist in society since 2016?
First you decided to bazooka yourselves in the foot with the Brexit vote, then went through a revolving clown show of increasingly bizarre political sideshow pieces that pretended to be PM, before finally opting to negotiate an EU exist that was about as disastrous as it could’ve been for your economy.
Add in the fact that the entire world has been turning to shit around you due to despotic leaders trying to rape their neighbours/the climate/populace/actual kids/everything joined by a cabal of evil billionaires who are gleefully destroying democracy and the world economy so they can go out in one final last hurrah of capitalism, and you have the audacity to ask “What happened?”?.
I seriously can’t with these “I don’t do politics” idiots anymore.
I’d say a good 50% of people are not paying attention to current events/politics, then 40% who follow somewhat but don’t really understand as they lack the critical thinking skills necessary to actually process the information and end up parroting the talking points of their preferred media, and then finally 10% who realize just how fucked everything is.
There’s a lot of people who are only just now figuring out what the rest have been seeing happen for years, decades. Many of them are still in denial about how bad things have already gotten.

I mean it’s 7.25 pounds of steak, thats a lot for a barbecue!
Do brits have barbecue, or was that eradicated after their war on flavors?
$10 bucks says they wanted to bring this topic to immigrants.
Apparently Ben Graham, the one who tweeted this, is a Reform supporter so, obviously not a valid voice
As someone who stole from the supermarket all the time in college, I just wanna say that the need is starting to foment in recent times for me. The social contract is growing cracks now that I can’t see retirement and financial stability in my late 30s.
I consider it a public service to steal from businesses that destroy local economies, engage in union breaking and lobby against basic human rights.
So it’s not just us, billionaires are bleeding everyone to death, globally.
Hm, what do we do to ticks?
Stay inside and avoid their territory?
Absolutely fucking not. This is our planet, not theirs. Billionaires are an invasive species.
you keep making bad decisions and your politicians exacerbate them
This reeks of privlidge when poople complain that they can’t have their wagoo steak.
I don’t think people are stealing the steaks for their nutritional value, so that is still not the right framing.
I know I do but not everyone uses steaks as fleshlights.
That’s raw…
For Christ’s sake boys, we’re stealing fuckin meat
It’s never bread or carrots that get a security tag. Always the luxury products…
