Panel 1: “You wanna know what I do when I see people stealing food or baby formula?”

Panel 2: “Fucking nothing because I’m not a fucking asshole.”

    I saw someone stealing in Safeway the other day, which is to say I saw absolutely nothing. Then when I was at the checkout the guy in the next lane over was ratting him out. For shame

    I said this before, but I wish I was stupid enough to think like this. Just blissful ignorance and elementary school playground arguments. Easy living

          Comparing you to blindly following the system that opresses you if we really boil it down.

          Dont stop people from shoplifting and your owner sprays everyone with a little squirt bottle and you blame it on the shoplifters, not the owners?

            Shoplifting increases the prices I have to pay for my groceries. That’s just how society works. But I’m still left confused as to what the hiel walmart part meant, care to open that up? Never heard of the word “hiel”.

              The increased prices is the spray bottle, if that’s how society works then we really haven’t strayed that far from midevil monarchies. You think the 2nd LA house isn’t maybe sorta a tiny bit increasing your grocery price? Or the monopoly that made it impossible for any other brands to exist did?

              Its my misspelling of heil, as in Hitler obviously - unless you really are this dense cause then I can see why capitalism is having an easy job with you

      Yes… Capitalism takes a toll on all of us. I understand also your position. But from my position, I would rather not tell you if I saw people shoplifting… Which I also think you understand.

      So if you bust me, at least we can get on with the capitalist program we are both stuck in with a tad more understanding and kindness towards each other.

    Step 1: rob grocery stores while complaining about billionaires Step 2: blame anyone but yourself while complaining that you are in a food desert

      Whenever I rob a grocery store, I usually do not have time to complain about billionaires. Those things are implicitly understood by the folks around me who are blessed with average and above intelligence.

      I complain about billionaires afterwards on the Internet.

      Based on my statistical analysis, the take-home share of myself and my fellow robbers are too small to influence the investment decisions of large grocery chains. So no, I do not fault any of us for the predicament we are in.
