What if they're rich

Remember kids, if you see someone shoplifting, ahhhh oh no I'm having an asthma attack on no my heart palpitations! ahhhhh! Oh I feel really faint I'm having a heat stroke or something!
I dunno, or something like that. In any case, it's pretty much always ethical to steal from corporations, most especially big box stores, as an absolute moral value, and I do indeed find it kind of hard to be swayed from this as an opinion at all.
People stealing stuff that you think they don't need? They probably needed it. Prices going up? Probably they should stop paying their CEO so much. Big box store pulls out, creating a food desert? Probably they were looking to downsize anyways. Increased security, decreased convenience and social cohesion because now thievery is allowed? I dunno, I'm pretty sure if beforehand your "social cohesion" was predicated on the poverty of some other class of person, it wasn't actually real, or was a farce, an illusion. The people who were robbing, were secretly rich? Doesn't commonly happen since the rich steal in other ways, and the relative impact is so small as to basically not be worth mentioning. I dunno, uhhh, what else what else. People stealing stuff so they can be scalpers? I dunno, harder issue to solve. Probably those people sound like they should also be stolen from, since they're kind of simulating the big box store at a lower level. Seems more, systemic, maybe.
