The second toilet paper shortage.
From the story
Reports of robbery in DC are up by 68% in 2023 compared to last year, Fox Business reported.
More than 3,000 robberies have taken place so far in 2023 — up substantially from 1,791 at this time in 2022 . . .
New York City has seen the sharpest rise in thefts in recent years, with a 64% increase in reported incidents of retail theft during the four-year period between mid-2019 and June of this year, according to the Council on Criminal Justice. Los Angeles experienced a 61% surge over the same time frame.
LA, meanwhile, saw a 109% increase in reported retail theft incidents in the first six months of 2023 — the highest in the country, the report found.
A recent report by the National Retail Federation, a trade group representing US retailers, said chains had lost $112 billion due to a wave of organized theft rings in New York, San Francisco, LA, and Houston last year — up from $93.9 billion in 2021.
$112b. and that’s just the organized theft.
What could we do with the taxes on $112b?

Oh okay.
If a massive massive increase in hate crimes occurs should we ignore it and point out they have always existed?
What about a $112b string of corporate fraud? (That has always existed too.)
- 68% increase in DC in one year
- 64% increase3 in NYC in one year
- 109% increase in LA in one year.
You are an intelligent purpose who is grasping at straws.

Trump era terrorist and hammer wound expert Nancy Pelosi imported that virus directly from San Francisco which appears very clean and tidy right now.
i was merely pointing out that organized crime did not start in 2023.

the shrink rate increased 1.6% in 2022.
hardly earth shattering.

Of more concern to my wallet, stores raise prices to compensate for “shrinkage”. That becomes an extra tax on everything I buy.
US murder rate is 0.000063% in 2022.
and corporate fraud is probably a similar part of the GDP.
Yet people shape their entire lives around weird beliefs that those things are everywhere and even try to take our civil rights away.
Those people are pretty weird, huh?
