Citations Needed had an episode about this. Extraordinary bullshit media narrative around shoplifting
And barely a peep about corporate price gouging, wage slavery, etc etc
This is all cover for the wage theft addiction bosses have.

PBS Newshour covered this last week, too, saying it's mostly a bullshit excuse (in whisper-talk).
Just once, I want a PBS host to bellow with the volume of a Republican that just watched the newest Project Veritas fraud 😁
Closest they come is at the beginning when they're thanking the billionaires for their financial support.
"This episode of Wait Wait Don't Tell Me is brought to you by Capital One and FTX: what WAS in your wallet?"
That was the point. It was a narrative shift operation.
woah, I never thought I'd see another listener in the wild. cool beans.
Channel 5 did a few videos recently in SF. Really highlights shoplifting and reselling schemes that are incredibly common in that area.
I wouldn't say it's nation wide, but there's definitely an issue with shoplifting in these areas with incredibly lowered penalties for shoplifting.
There's a bunch of other things covered in this video, but there's a good view on the shoplifting.
