The shoplifting and thefts at the self-checks are the Products of corporate greed, yes… In their efforts to pare down their staff to the bone, and reduce the ‘expense’ of paying a living wage, the corporations have not only left themselves more vulnerable, but fostered a wide-spread attitude of ‘If they can steal from us, then We can steal from them.’ I’m not saying I Agree with this stance- but I do see where it has arisen from.
I know- but I don’t believe America has lost its mind Entirely, as yet- I expect Biden to be re-elected with good majorities in both House and Senate, which will give hime the freedom to move more firmly against the Russian fascists.
And I hope he moves against the home-grown fascists as well- a good start would be to replace Garland with Jack Smith as the AG.
Yes- America should get Serious about the help it is offering; That means give Ukraine the tools it needs to reclaim its land, Including Crimea. Before Americans have to go over to Europe again and populate New cemetaries.
There is a book by Robert Heinlein called ‘Time Enough For Love’, that tells the tale of a fellow who lived 2,000 years; In it are included some of his musings thru that time. ‘The Notebooks of Lazarus Long’. I Highly recommend it just for the Notebooks, tho it is a rollicking god tale all on its own. The Notebooks are the cherry on the cake.
